With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Krems an der Donau, 16 miles away, has to offer. Gottweig Abbey should be at the top of your list here. Beethovenhaus Gneixendorf and Karikaturmuseum are terrific attractions too. Don’t forget about Sankt Polten either! Just 20 miles away, St. Polten Cathedral, Sankt Polten Town Hall and Institut der Englischen Fraulein are must-sees here.
