Vienna Woods (Wienerwald) Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit the Vienna Woods in 2026?

The cost of visiting the Vienna Woods depends on the type of visit. Tours of the region’s wineries and hiking trails start from around US$179, while private tours of Vienna that can include seeing the woods cost closer to US$402. Alternatively, see the woods as you drive through on Salzburg tours, which start from US$212.

Q: What are the top attractions or activities in the Vienna Woods?

Visitors to the Vienna Woods have many options for how to spend their time. Hiking and nature walks are common activities, especially around outdoor attractions like Kahlenberg and the Lainzer Tiergarten, where you can enjoy city views. Baden bei Wien, on the edge of the woods, is home to more attractions, including a beautiful park and a spa center.

Q: What is the best time of year to visit the Vienna Woods?

The Vienna Woods can be explored any time of year, although some times are better for certain activities. The later spring months of May and June are a great time to visit for outdoor experiences and to enjoy views from Kahlenberg. Go in autumn, around October and early November, to see the leaves change in places like Baden.

Q: Are there hiking or cycling trails in the Vienna Woods?

Hiking trails run throughout the Vienna Woods and often are the only way to reach deeper sections and observation towers. Common hiking trails include those from Grinzing to Kahlenberg and the ones that lead through the Upper Kurpak outside Baden. Mountain bike trails crisscross the woods, while road cyclists will find routes to Heiligenkreuz from Mödling and Baden.

Q: Are there any historical or cultural sites within the Vienna Woods?

While the Vienna Woods are mostly a destination for natural scenery, a few cultural landmarks are also worth seeking out. Heiligenkreuz Abbey, the oldest continuously active Cistercian monastery in the world, is one of the most famous attractions in the area. In the Lainzer Tiergarten, the Hermesvilla is a former royal retreat with exhibitions on the house’s history.

Vienna Woods Wine Tour - Wines, Vines & Good Times!

Alexander_C, Jun 2024

Had an amazing time at...

Had an amazing time at this tour. James the guide was awesome, and the woods and the vineyards were amazing even though I got a sunburn (so dont forget your sunscreen!). The second part - the wine tasting - was also great and I'm not even a wine person! This tour, the views, and the whole experience will stay in my memory for a long time (I think its gonna be my new 'happy place'), and I definitely recommend it! Thank you James and everyone who's been in our group!

Book This Tour! Totally worth it.

James was incredible! He met us at the train station, and we rode a train 30 minutes to this adorable little town outside Vienna. He was knowledgeable and really made us feel comfortable during the trip. We went in the winter so we didn't do the hike and instead he planned a second wine tasting for us! Which I rather prefer anyway! I would definitely recommend booking this tour. Totally worth it to see the country outside of the main city.

Incredible Vienna Wine Country Experience

If you’re looking for a unique wine tasting experience, this is your tour! A short 30 minute train ride gets you out of the city and enjoying the beautiful landscape of Vienna’s wine country. This private tour guided by James, who was so much fun and incredibly knowledgeable about the area, was just what we were looking for. The walk/hike, albeit quite a distance, boasted gorgeous views of picturesque landscapes with a great finish of delicious lunch and wine tasting in a beautiful little town. If you’re looking to get your steps in and want a once in a lifetime experience, this is your full-day excursion!

Walk among the vines

Fantastic day trip from start to finish. Appeals to everyone, I’m a wine enthusiast, so I was in my element. Scenery was beautiful, lunch was exceptional, wine tasting was intimate and delightful. Would love to do this again in the late summer / early autumn when the bars are open in the vineyards.

One of our best adventures ever!

My family and I had a truly memorable experience on this tour. We saw amazing views of the Austrian countryside, walked through actual working vineyards, ate some great local cuisine, and tasted some delicious local wine during a tasting hosted by the owner himself sitting in his beautiful courtyard. What made the day truly special though was our guide (James). He took the time to talk to all four of us, shared tons of facts about the region and the wine (as well as his own personal stories), and provide top-notch translation at the winery. He made sure that we were enjoying ourselves and made us feel like we were talking to an old friend. The only caution is that the five+ mile hike contains some steep uphill and downhill sections, so be prepared for that. We would highly recommend this tour!
