Beside its numerous monuments, Vienna is also famous for its many culinary specialities, and in particular the world-famous Viennese wine. The "Heuriger" inns are very popular: they are a kind of wine taverns where you can buy and taste the young wine. The wine that the owner of the Heuriger inn proposes is most of the time a wine produced by himself. That's why the inns are located at the periphery of Vienna among woods and vineyards. The quicker means of transport that makes you enjoy an impressive overview of the most popular wine-growing area of Vienna and its surroundings (Grinzing and Nussdorf) is the Heurigen Express tourist train. It is a nicely decorated little train which runs between April and October. You will find further information about the tours in Grinzing and in Nussdorf that we propose onboard the Heurigen Express tourist train. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the team of Vienna city tours!
