Fiaker Museum

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 center, and can be chartered as an exclusive and rather expensive way of sightseeing through the 1st district. 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 worthy vehicles. Don't expect to find a real Fiaker in the museum.
