Christmas in Vienna

Hi,



Planning to spend Christmas with my bf in Vienna. This will be our first visit to Austria. I appreicate if anyone could recommend some places/sights worth visitng. Will 4 days be enough if I wish to travel to Salzburg as well?



Any info on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

hi 4 days for 2 cities.. that is very tied since you need several hours to travel from Vienna to Salzburg. Maybe you decide on one of them is better.

Both cities are well worth a visit. While 4 days is not ideal- if you have no more time still visit. You have come too far not to do these things.





Salzburg is easily reachable by train- about 3 hours trip





look to



www.oebb.at for train information





The train station in Vienna for your trip is the Westbahnhof . Easy to reach by subway u-3 or U-6



You can buy tickets at the station at the time you travel unless it is on the weekend of Christmas.





The Salzburg station is about 15 minutes walk from the Old City where you will find major tourist sites.





You can return to Vienna on a later evening train.



A full day but fun.







The above mentioned website offers much information on Vienna.



Must sees





The Hofburg Palace



Schonbrunn Palace



The Christmas markets ( one at Schonbrunn too)





Others depend on your interests





Have fun!
