Bus tours are good if you're very short on time and want to pack in as much as possible, while the walking tours are perfect if you are are interested in learning more on a specific topic.

Fiaker - More of a tourist novelty than anything else, a Fiaker is a traditional-stype open carriage drawn by a pair of horses. Drivers generally speak English and point out places of interest en route. Lines of horses, carriages and bowler-hatted drivers can be found at the Stephansplatz, the Albertinaplatz and at the Vienna Hofburg.
