I love Lainzer Tiergarten on a weekday, when you can enjoy it without the cheerful groups that fill the grounds on weekends; I love it in the early spring when the fields are covered in early purple crocuses...

Now that summer has passed and autumn has painted everything spectacularly beautiful, I’d encourage you to get your own hiking pass (Wanderpass) and explore Vienna’s wonderful – and, in fact, fairly easy – hiking trails.
