With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Sankt Polten, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be St. Polten Cathedral, Sankt Polten Town Hall and Institut der Englischen Fraulein. Krems an der Donau is another terrific option. It’s 25 miles away and offers a variety of awesome things to do. Gottweig Abbey, Beethovenhaus Gneixendorf and Karikaturmuseum are only the start.
