If you are up for it you can of course cycle all the way to your hotel in Vienna, you'll be riding around 88 kms with this option but it's all pretty level and there are good cycle paths throughout much of the city.
If you don't fancy riding into the city you can stop in Nussdorf, a suburb right on the bike path, drop your bike off there and use public transport to get to your hotel. You'll be riding about 75 km in total. Please note that this is a pop-up bike drop-off point and only open each Fri, Sat, Sun Mon and Tue between 0930 and 1800.
A slightly shorter option still is to drop off your bike in Klosterneuburg, a small town on the Danube upstream from Vienna. From here you can take public transport on into Vienna. You'll ride around 70 km with this option. Please note that this option is available daily between 0800 and 1200 and then again between 1400 and 1700.
The shortest option of all is to cycle the 48 km from Krems to Tulln, drop your bike off there and take the train on to Vienna. This option is available daily between 0800 and 1200 and again between 1400 and 1700
Once in Vienna, use the rest of the day to explore the beautiful city. The Schönbrunn Palace, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, and the Imperial Palace are popular highlights. You may also want to take in the ‘Riesenrad’, the giant ferris wheel, made famous in the 1949 British film, ‘The Third Man’, and no trip to Vienna would be complete without enjoying a coffee and cake in one of its famous, convivial and elegant coffee houses.
