A PERFECT SUMMERDAY

The Old Danube is one of Vienna’s most popular spots for swimming. On warm days, its calm waters are perfect for a swim, a refreshing dip or simply relaxing – right in the city, yet far away from everyday life.

A BIKE RIDE BY THE WATER

Cycling along the Old Danube is an easy way to see a more relaxed side of Vienna. Follow the quiet waterside paths, take in the views and slow down whenever you feel like it. And when it’s time for a break, stop by Das Bootshaus for a drink, something to eat or simply a little time by the water before heading on.

RUNNING ALONG THE WATERFRONT

The Old Danube is one of Vienna’s best spots for a run, with waterside paths, plenty of nature and views that make it easy to switch off for a while.

Whether it’s an early morning run or a few kilometres at sunset – it’s a little escape from the city without ever leaving Vienna.
