Steyr has one of the most beautiful downtown squares in Europe, where Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo meet each other in harmony. In the middle is the town’s emblem — the lovely „Bummerlhaus“, a jewel of late-Gothic architecture. It is a town with a thousand years of history. A town made for promenades along the impressive main street, leafy avenues or the crystal clear river itself (inspiration for Schubert’s Trout Quintet), Steyr’s location also allows for a wealth of interesting excursions.
Innovation has always been a driving force
Steyr was the first European city with an Electrical Power Plant and public electrical lights. Today large companies like BMW and MAN still produce Diesel engines and trucks respectively here in Steyr. The innovative Segway perfectly fits to Steyr’s history.…
Where is Steyr?
Right in the heart of Europe. At the foothills of the Alps, at the confluence of two mountain rivers (Steyr & Enns) the city offers the perfect home for riding a Segway.
Steyr is big & small
Steyr is big enough to host an annual meeting. Hotels, places, surroundings. And on the other hand small enough to get full support from the tourism board, the police, the local politicians. Since Steyr has a Segway sightseeing tour people love to see people glide around.
Is Steyr Segway friendly?
Anything you need is within 10 kilometers gliding distance. And, since Austrian law supports it, driving a Segway is allowed at most places also. On streets, in little side lanes, on marked bicycle paths. And very special in Steyr: in all pedestrian zones.
