Hi,
I will be in Vienna from July 17th to 23rd, 2010 to attend a conference. After the conference, i want to explore Vienna, Salzburg and Munich in 4 to 5 days. Can anyone please answer some of my questions?
1) How long it takes to go from vienna to salzburg to munich?
2) How much money is needed for travel by bus/train from vienna-salzburg-munich-vienna?
3) What would be the cost for a cheap accommodation? Any link would be appreciated.
4) How much money needed for food, local travel and any guided tour?
5) In total how much money needed for this 5-day-trip?
Thank you so much. The information was very helpful, specially the one about Servas. I have already applied to be the member.

About the room rent, 100 Euro seems pretty expensive, i don’t think i will be able to afford that at this moment. I am thinking about some hostel or something.

Do you know the airfare or train fare from vienna to paris and whether the ticket is available one week before the travel date?

Any information would be helpful, thank you again.

Fall asked:

I decided to spend 3 days vacation in Austria, and I’m thinking of either going to Salzburg or Vienna… I wanted to visit both, but I believe I only have time to visit 1 of this 2 places. Which place would you recommend and why?

Aaron G asked:

Hi,

We am planning a one week holiday to Austria between 17-24 December this year. Note I have already received some excellent responses to an earlier question regarding what to do – just need to sort the transport out now!

All I need to know now is how do you book train tickets within the Austrian network? We are going to be based in both Salzburg & Vienna, but will need to buy a return to Vienna from Salzburg.

Is it necessary (and cheaper) to buy them in the UK before we go? Or just wait until we arrive in Salzburg?

My only concern is not being able to secure tickets once we are there (not sure what the demand is like), or it may be more economical to purchase beforehand. Thanks

Dude asked:

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:

I intend on going to (hamburg -> vienna -> munich -> salzburg -> hamburg for depart)
Flights are cheap but then as you proceed to pyament they get more expensive with fine print details.
Trains.. how does that work and how do you book?
