I am planning to go to Austria, can’t find any good sites. What are the best hotels in Vienna and Salzburg?

Aleckii asked:

I’m planning a backpacking trip to europe, stopping by a few countries like Germany (Berlin), Switzerland (Luzerne, Geneva), Italy (Florence, Pisa, Rome, Venice), Austria (Salzburg, Vienna) and Czech (Prague), then back to Germany to catch my flight. I know about Busabout, but apparently they’re not operating during that period of time. Any other bus services which are as flexible as Busabout?

bridget asked:

I have been living and studying in Spain for 5 months and am now going to start an extensive trip through Europe. I plan to go from Paris, France to Belgium then to Amsterdam then to Germany then to the
Czech Republic then to Austria and ending with Ireland and England.

My friend and I are going to purchase the 8 days, 5 countries select pass on the Eurorail but I am having trouble finding flights from Prague, Vienna or Salzburg to Dublin, Ireland where I will be staying with my family.

Is it possible to double back with the pass and fly out of Munich? This means I would be traveling to Germany twice…is that allowed? Or if anyone has any other suggestions that would be greatly appreciated! The only things that are concrete with my trip are that I am starting in Paris and need to end in Ireland (via flight). Thanks!

quietkey asked:

I’m going to be traveling between Vienna and Salzburg in September. I have never been in a train in Europe and was wondering what is the difference between the IC vs the EC trains. I want to go on the nicest train.

It looks like the OBB EC trains get to Salzburg faster but how about the comfort. Does it really make a difference if I take the IC or the EC train.

Lesia H asked:

David G asked:

My wife and I are spending 10 days in March traveling to Munich, Salzburg and Vienna. I would appreciate any advice on place to go, place to eat, and just things to do in these cities. We’re really excited and want to make as good an experience as possible.

Sherri asked:

I will be traveling in Central Europe among Budapest, Prague, Salzburg, and Vienna in May, which is during peak tourism time. Do I need to purchase tickets in advance or reserve seats on the trains? My original plan was to just purchase tickets the day of the planned ride. I was just wondering if trains are ever sold out, which could mess up my plans.

Aleckii asked:

I plan to buy a EurailPass 2007, allowing me to travel continuously for 15 days, in order to save time, 4 of the nights we will spend in night trains. But it is stated that we have to pay a supplementary price on a night time (or pay additionally to make reservations), can somebody help me find out what the supplementary charges are?

Also I read that some night trains offer Sleepers, couchettes, sleperetts, etc. A few people have said that it might be uncomfortable to sleep in night trains, is it true? To me and my friends, who are used to taking night trains, we actually find them comfortable.

Anyway, the following are the night trains we are taking, how can we check the supplementary price (on top of the EurailPass 2007)?

EuroNight(EN) Train From Venice to Vienna

DB Nachtzug(NZ) Berlin to Brussels

City NightLine(CNL) Amsterdam to Basel

City NightLine(CNL) Salzburg to Frankfurt

Kelly D asked:

I am going to travel between Germany, Austria, and Italy on a 10 day trip. Is a rail-pass worth it? I’m planning to travel from Vienna to Halstatt, from Halstatt to Salzburg, from Salzburg to Berlin, from Berlin to Dachau, then from Dachau to Rome, and finally back again to Vienna.
