With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Spital am Semmering, 45 miles away, has to offer. Stuhleck Ski Lift should be high up on your list here. Zauberberg Ski Resort and 4-er Sportbahn Blauer Blitz are terrific attractions too. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Wiener Neustadt, 50 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Hauptplatz. (But we’re also big fans of Dom and Casemates.)
