Bike rental near Westbahnhof
Wien Westbahnhof combines long-distance rail, U3/U6 metro and a refurbished forecourt with bike racks and WienMobil Rad docks. Cyclists heading to Schönbrunn use the Gürtel cycle track; those bound for the Museumsquartier roll east on Mariahilfer Straße shared lanes. The station offers step-free exits and guarded bike parking in the garage.
