Car Hire in Wiener Neustadt - Mini guide to Wiener Neustadt

Wiener-Neustadt is an ancient city, tracing its origins back to 1194, when it was founded with money collected from the ransom of King Richard the Lionheart, of England. King Richard was held hostage at Durnstein, and when released the ransom money was used to fund the construction of Wiener-Neustadt as a buffer against Hungarian forces.

The city now enjoys a population of around 40,000 inhabitants, making it a mid-sized Austrian city. It is fairly typical of Austrian cities, in that it contains beautiful architecture and a long and varied history. As a self-governed city, it is the seat of Wiener-Neustadt-Land.

Transportation in and around Wiener Neustadt is easily handled. The city itself sits very near major roadways leading to the much larger urband centers to its north. Rail and bus traffic is also commonplace around the area, though it remains unclear just how many people utilized mass transit over individual automobiles. Because there I such a well-developed transit system in the area, it seems a bit surprising that so many people choose to drive a vehicle to Wiener Neustadt. Car hire services receive regular requests for vehicles to make the trip to Wiener Neustadt for a weekend getaway from the much larger and busier cities to its north.

Many people choose to visit the city because of its ancient architecture, while others prefer to visit the World War II battlegrounds nearby. One of the most popular attractions for the World War II tourists is the city itself, which found much of its infrastructure destroyed in the bombing campaigns during World War II.
