Many Viennese only know Tulln from weekend shopping at the large garden centers of Praskac Pflanzenland or Starkl. It is not for nothing that the place is also known as the garden city due to the many garden centers. The small town on the Danube with almost 17,000 inhabitants is really worth a visit.
Tulln is one of the oldest cities in Austria and was inhabited as early as Roman times. Tulln was already mentioned as a city (Comagenis civitas) at the end of the 8th century.

Although not a sight, we can particularly recommend the Aubad in Tulln. The 5-hectare natural bathing lake is the ideal destination in Lower Austria for families, amateur athletes and connoisseurs. For children it offers a raised beach and even a water slide. Sports enthusiasts can play volleyball, basketball or football and even borrow a SUP.
You can take a leisurely stroll along the Danube. Here you will find beautifully landscaped garden sections along the banks of the Danube, and also small sights such as the Nibelungen Monument, the Danube stage, the Marc-Aurel statue, the Roman tower and the town hall.
If you don’t want to walk so much and for children there is also a hop on hop off slow train through the art and garden city of Tulln.
