There’s always current offers/information at the airport, hotels and station when you get there but hope GLOBO's make some more recommendations. You have an advantage, most Austrians speak English too, more than others on the continent! Depending on visa and time restrictions, Budapest (Hungary) and Brno/Brunn (Czech) are easily reachable day/two-day trips. Sorry im travelling too, otherwise would have possibly met you in Salzburg my friend. --- Rudolf "Rangutan" Graspointner Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rangutan   mistybleu Premium account Joined: Aug 04 Points: 53340 Posts: 245 Posted: 2005-07-07 01:46:00    [quote] On 2005-07-06 20:31:00, rangutan wrote: A trip to Austria should include a day-trip to the mountains (Alps) either to Salzburg, Villach or Innsbruck (further) and easy by train or organised bus tours.

It has lots of information, but if you have any further questions please let me know. I've also uploaded quite a few travel tips and recommendations which might be of some interest to you. I hope you have a wonderful time, because it is an amazing city. But I definitely agree with Rudi, don't spend all your time in Vienna, especially if you have 6-7 days spare. Salzbury is worth a visit. Let me know if I can help further.
