Fiaker have existed in Vienna since the 17th century, named after the Rue de Saint-Fiacre in Paris where the first hired carriages stood. The Viennese Fiaker was always more than transport: he knows the city, the people and the best stories, and he has a relationship with his horses you can feel.
The Paul family has been driving since 1970. The horses are stabled at the edge of the city, the carriages are well kept. A ride along the Ring, through the Hofburg or around St. Stephen’s is not a tourist duty but the slowest and most beautiful way to see Vienna.
