What defines riding in Vienna?

Wien sits on the Danube at the edge of the Vienna Woods and the eastern Alps foothills. The Spanish Riding School and Trabrennbahn Krieau make it a destination of genuine equestrian significance. Imperial history, classical music, and the fine arts give the city a cultural depth that rewards every visit. The climate is mild enough to ride almost year-round, though winter months can be windy and frequently overcast.
