Starting in the vibrant city of Linz, our Linz to Vienna Leisurely Bike Tour follows the famously leisurely Danube cycle path through historic towns and quiet countryside to reach Vienna, the impressive capital of Austria. As you cycle this picturesque stretch of river, you'll be enchanted by the atmosphere of the UNESCO-listed Wachau region and its many castles and vineyard-covered slopes.
The cycling on this stretch of the Danube is great for families and leisure cyclists with its traffic-free cycle paths and gentle terrain. There is plenty to discover off the bike too, with many castles, museums, and old towns to explore along the route.
