Horse riding · VIENNA HORSE RIDING TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 vienna horse riding tours worth the money, each with its price, its weight limit and the one thing to know before you commit.
See Lipizzan stallions perform the High School of Classical Horsemanship inside Vienna's Baroque Winter Riding School. Choose a 70-minute Standard Performance, 90-minute Gala Performance, or two-hour Tribute to Vienna show. Collect your ticket before the performance at Michaelerplatz 1.
Begin at a family-run Fiaker stable in Simmering with a 30-minute English or German tour led by staff such as Marco or Marko. Learn how the horses live and work, then ride for about an hour through St. Marx and along the Ringstraße to Michaelerplatz or Stephansplatz.
“Extraordinary experience - worth more than 5 stars. Feeding and stroking the horses before they were hitched to the carriages then the ride in the Fiaker into central Vienna. Well worth an early start. Fantastic”
Ride through central Vienna in a private, weatherproof carriage for up to four people, with sparkling wine, Austrian food options, and stories from your coachman or butler. The 40-minute to one-hour route passes the Hofburg, Opera, Albertina, and Ringstrasse sights.
“Marko our guide was great, he was funny knowledgeable and friendly. He was very apologetic as we had a late start due to previous customers timekeeping. The horse and carriage round the city was very good and highly recommended”
Meet your German or English-speaking Fiaker in front of Schönbrunn Palace for a private 30-minute carriage ride. See the Palm House, Neptune and Obelisk fountains, Orangerie, and Gloriette while hearing stories about Vienna, Schönbrunn, and the carriage tradition.
Pick a shoreline, a canyon or a driving seat.
