Planning a trip to Austria
Pulled from the 2 routes below — so it says what these itineraries actually do, not what a brochure would.
When to go
Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct — the months these routes agree on.
How long you need
2–9 days. The shortest is Vienna in 2 days: the Hofburg, Schönbrunn and the coffee houses; the longest is Austria in 9 days: Vienna, Hallstatt and Salzburg.
What it costs
≈ AED 550 to ≈ AED 800 per person per day, depending on the route. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.
Entry on an Indian passport
Embassy or consulate in advance, 90 days in any 180. Schengen. Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with the embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
Where these routes go: Schönbrunn · Vienna · Hallstatt · Salzburg.

Best for: Two days, one palace each, and standing opera tickets for the price of a sandwich
Vienna in 2 days: the Hofburg, Schönbrunn and the coffee houses
The Ring and the Hofburg → Schönbrunn, the Belvedere and a coffee house
The Imperial Treasury, Klimt's Kiss, and Schönbrunn's gardens — plus the coffee-house custom that expects you to stay two hours, and the Staatsoper standing tickets that cost less than lunch.

Best for: First-time visitors
Austria in 9 days: Vienna, Hallstatt and Salzburg
Vienna → Hallstatt → Salzburg
The empire, the lake village and the Sound of Music: four Viennese days of palaces, Klimt and €15 opera (the standing-ticket hack), a night in Hallstatt so you own it at dawn, then Salzburg's fortress and singing hills — with the café-culture rulebook and the ferry arrival that built a million posts.
