For those who visit the historic centre of the city, an additional means of transport is available which, among other things, does not pollute. It is called the rickshaw, a vehicle that can carry 2 people with only hand baggage. They are the most romantic option as they consist of two-horse carriages; obviously this is not an economic choice.
Public Viennese taxis can not be hailed on the road, you can only get them at dedicated stations, and this is not the cheapest solution either. Among other things, there is a surcharge for each person who gets in the car, as well as for each piece of luggage.
