Question

I visiting Austria , Vienna, Salzburg , any advice or recommendations?

Answer 1

I agree....the ice caves outside Salzburg are a MUST see experience. And the Sound of Music Tour is kitschy but great!! In Vienna, save some money for Sacher torte at the Hotel Sacher, and for beautiful objects visit the Swarosvski chrytsal world.

Answer 2

Vienna Attractions... several:

Schonnbrunn palace, Hofburg palace, Kaertner strasse, Stephansplatz, Stadtpark, Donauturm, Prater, Opera house

Spanish riding school

And tonnnns of museums.... ask anyone

Shopping areas (the affordable ones in order of preference):

Mariahilfer strasse

Donauzentrum

Millenium city

Eating areas:

Anywhere in the 1st district (town center) - you'll find ample choice of cuisines. if you're non-vegetarian, make sure you try the local Wiener Schnitzel!

Hotels:

anywhere and everywhere - try to stay outside the 1st district as they're very expensive

-------------------

Salzburg.....

Hallstatt ice caves (must MUST see - you can get guided tours)

The city

Mondsee (one of the hundreds of beautiful lakes in the area)

Mozart's birthplace

Mirabelle gardens

Sound of music tour

when in salzburg, try to stay in a guesthouse (gasthof) rather than a hotel - its a much more affordable, memorable, homely and beautiful (not to forget quality) experience. you really get to see the true Austria that way

Enjoy your trip!
