Description
The Fiaker is still to be found in the streets of Vienna. Today the fiacres, once an indispensable part of public transport, are found in the city centre, and can be chartered as an exclusive and rather expensive way of sightseeing through the 1st district (about ATS 500, EUR 40 for half an hour). The museum itself, with pictures, photos, flags and newspapers explains the history of these coaches-for-hire and also of their coachmen, who are seen as more of an institution than are their valuable vehicles. Don't expect to find a real Fiaker in the museum.
