Nestled between the Danube, vineyards and the Vienna Woods, Vienna can also be explored on four paws. Right next to harry’s home Wien-Millennium is the Danube Island, with plenty of green space and long paths along the water. For longer hikes, the city hiking trails in the Vienna Woods are a great option.
On many trails, dogs must be kept on a leash, and it is important to be considerate of other visitors and wildlife. That’s why your dog should stay on a leash, especially in the Vienna Woods.
