I am flying in to Vienna with my small dog (Papillon) and was wondering if dogs are allowed on public transit and is there a hotel in Vienna that will accept dogs that is not too expensive and near public transportion?

Hi - Wie geht es in wien heute?
Could anyone, please, help me with this: I need to visit the Canadian Embassy at Schwedenplatz, Vienna. I shall be coming through Bratislava, from where I have a choice of bus services with Vienna destinations of either Sudtirolerplatz or VID Erdberg. There is also a train to Sudbahnhof. Which of these points is preferable?
And how do I transfer from that point to the Embassy? In other words, what do I do once off the bus/train? (Other than going for a nice beer and wurst at the first place)

Hello travellers!

I would like to know the approximate price of train tickets from Wien to Prague.
Tried the http://www.oebb.at/ but I was unable to find the answer.

Best Regards,

we will have seven days vacation this year including our day of arrival in europe hoping to see a smaller city and then return to vienna. we apparently will be travelling with another couple who will never be virtual tourist material, a bit of a problem.
the choices for a smaller city to visit first include salzburg and krakow. your thoughts, with some attention to the ease of getting from vienna airport to either city and back again to vienna as well as the favorable attributes of each, would be much appreciated.
since i really only get one week or so of vacation a year, i like to stay in the best class of hotel but they all look very nice. it is hard for me to assess location which is of crucial importance of course for seeing vienna.
any other suggestions also warmly welcomed. thanks. n.

I have searched and searched online for a bus schedule from Vienna to Bernstein Castle. I have a room booked there and the owner assures me there are buses to and from Vienna to the castle. So far, I have had no success in finding such bus route and if it is, it is is German which I do not speak or read. I know I can take the train from Vienna to Oberwert then bus up to Bernstein from there but is there a direct bus from Vienna to Bernstein? Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello, my wife and 3 children are arriving in Vienna and need a mid size car for 20 days, will drop off back at airport. from August 7th till the 26th. Need room for at least 3 suit cases and 2 carry ons. Any good deals for a VW passat wagon? or a good sedan?

I have just found out that my plans in Vienna this September have been, in some parts, double booked. It's a long story so I won't bore you with the details, suffice to say that I have to choose between a day trip to Sopron on my own steam, or a half day tour to the Vienna Woods/ Baden/ Mayerling etc. Since I will not have a car the best way to do the Vienna Woods seems to be by tour bus which is not my usual choice, but in this case seems to be my only choice. The trouble is that the two clash and I can't juggle them around the rest of my plans because the rest of my plans are set in stone and I wouldn't want to change them anyway. Okay folks, which would you choose and why? I really need your help on this one. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I will travel from Vienna to Budapest in July. I am choosing between Eurolines or train. I know that there are buses running between them, but I can't read the language, I don't know how much it is and the timetable.

For train, the only seats available in the morning on 24 July are not special. It charges Euro 68 for 2 people. There is nothing cheaper.

Does anyone know the fare for taking the bus?

Since the train charges Euro68 for 2 people, is it better to take the bus? If yes, can I buy the Eurolines tickets on-line? If not, will the bus be full when I arrived at Vienna on 21 July to buy the 24 July bus tickets?

IS the bus more convenient for my lugagges?

Thanks for your reply.

I'm visiting Vienna next weekend and have booked tickets for a 12 p.m. performance at the Spanish Riding School. I have two questions:.

1. The Imperial Palace seems to be an elegand place, is there a dresscode one should follow?
2. Are you allowed to take pictures during the performances?

Hi! am asking this question on behalf of a friend of mine who is in Austria right now. He is trying to buy an LV bag for his beloved daughter. He is not a citizen of the EU so he can claim VAT. where would be a good place for him to get the gift for his daughter. preferably a shop which has the latest designs and models. he is an over indulgent father and his daughter sure is lucky. please help this old father . are there any duty free shops in Vienna? Can the VAT be claimed from the shop itself?

I heard that there is a swimming pool in Vienna that has special times for women. The conditions during these times were so that it was acceptable for muslim women (no men of the staff are on duty during this time, windows are closed from outside view).

I would like to know the address and the times, if possible.

Hello!

We want to go from Wienn to Budapest and come back in the same day. As the train web OEBB seems rather confusing, we are thinking of travelling with Eurolines becuse the price is similar (30 Euros round trip).

If somebody has travelled before with Eurolines, could give me opinions about it?

Thanks

I and my wife will be in Vienna for two days. We will arrive at Vienna airport at about 11 am on a Saturday and leave at about 11 am on Monday after a stay of about 48 hours. We would like to stay in a three / four star hotel (say about 100 odd euros per night). However, we feel that in case the hotel is near a railway station (say upto a Km or so) which is connected to the airport, we will be able to go by train from the airport and easily lug our suitcases ourselves. Thereafter we should be able to move around easily in public transport.
We will be grateful for the following advise:-
(a) Hotels that meet our requirement.
(b) What transportation pass should we buy so that we can not only travel beween airport / hotel and back but also thereafter be able to move around easily within the city in the available modes of transportation.

Does anyone know how long is the trip from Vienna to Prague by train?

Hi again!

We have to go from the airport to Alser underground station by S-Bahn. Somebody told there is the possibility to buy a combined ticket for airport and underground which costs 3,40 Euros. Can anybody explain me how to buy this kind of ticket on the machines at the airport?

Thanks a lot.

Hello!
