City Trip Wiener Neustadt

A special insider tip are the underground vaults of the Kasematten Wiener Neustadt: medieval fortifications that can now be visited on guided tours. Another tip: a walk across the main square and the market with its lively market activity - charming, less crowded and full of local authenticity.

For one of the most impressive views around Wiener Neustadt, it is worth taking a detour to the Hohe Wand Nature Park - with two very different perspectives. The Skywalk, a platform built into the rock, faces east and is ideal for watching the sunrise; it is about a five-minute walk from the car park. For sunset with a view towards Schneeberg, you can hike from the nature park centre to the viewing tower in around 20 minutes. In good weather, a wide evening sky opens up here - the perfect end to a day on the Hohe Wand.

On rainy days, Wiener Neustadt offers various museums and the municipal theatre. A cosy afternoon in a café in the old town makes for a pleasant day. Those who like to relax will find an oasis of calm in the nearby Linsberg Asia thermal spa - with sauna, spa & Asian ambience just a few minutes from the city centre.

Wiener Neustadt is located directly on the southern railway line and is one of Austria's largest rail transport hubs; almost every train on this line stops in Wiener Neustadt. The city centre, hotels and restaurants can be reached on foot in approx. 4 minutes.

The historic town centre of Wiener Neustadt is easy to visit on foot. The best way to explore the surrounding area is by bike: the city is surrounded and criss-crossed by a dense network of cycle paths, such as EuroVelo 9 (long-distance cycle path Czech Republic-Austria-Slovenia). Many other routes lead along the canal or into the Bucklige Welt. You can hire bikes from nextbike.

Nature experiences and excursion destinations await in the surrounding area, such as the Myra Falls (water world in the natural area). They are easy to reach and ideal for a half-day excursion.
The Hohe Wand Nature Park with its spectacular views is also a worthwhile destination.

In general, the months from May to September are particularly suitable for leisure, hiking and nature experiences - with pleasant temperatures and plenty of sunshine. If you want to experience culture, markets, gastronomy and the flair of the old town, it is best to travel in late summer or early autumn, when mild weather and golden colours bathe the city in a special light.

Fascinating events attract visitors all year round: From autumn to winter, the Bösendorfer Festival with classical music and the creative Milk × Honey Festival. In spring, the wortwiege festival in the Kasematten allows linguistic creativity to blossom and in summer, the street art festival and the Kultursommer festival are a delight.
