About this activity

Discover the only guided paddling route in Vienna, one that uses only the cleanest, calmest and safest portions and side arms of the great Danube river. Join this ultimate summer tour and see Vienna from a different perspective!

Along the way, you will see some of the city's coolest relaxation spots and most important contemporary buildings, as well as enjoy panoramic views from the top of Austria's tallest tower in one of Vienna's grandest parks!

Start paddling in the most quaint part of Vienna, the Old Danube, a lakeside village where nocturnal beavers roam in an old side arm of the Danube. See how Vienna maintains its long-established reputation as a center for diplomacy, politics and international relations as you paddle past the United Nations!

The New Danube is another beautifully calm and clean stretch of water that runs parallel to the main river channel with its barges and cruise ships (they're separated by the famous Danube Island). This is where the local Viennese come out to party in summertime; so let's explore Vienna's most famous recreational spot, Copa Beach on the Danube Island, grab some lunch and a cocktail, swim off one of the many riverside pontoons, or just sunbathe and relax by water's edge with your toes in the sand!

Leave your kayak behind and walk through the beautiful Danube Park to Austria's tallest building: the Danube Tower. Enjoy magnificent 360° views over Vienna's skyline from the 170-meter high observation deck. Stay for as long as you like and consider rewarding yourself for your day's efforts in their brand new Austrian beer garden.
