We spent several weeks in Austria in 2022. We love both Vienna and Salzburg. It is a charming country at every turn! Our suggestion is to hop on a train and explore it yourself.

Our Visit
We like to think we are pretty good travelers. On our way to Prague in 2022, we took a train from Salzburg, Austria, that required us to transfer to a bus because of rail repairs. They told us they would take us to the next station where we would get on another train to continue our journey. The bus pulled into a station, we hopped off along with another couple from Sweden, the bus took off! Problem was, we weren’t at the right station but rather a rural station in the southern part of the country. There were no taxis, no cell service, and no one spoke English. Between the four of us, we were able to determine that another train would be by in three hours. So, we made new friends and waited it out. We proceeded to take two more trains and one more bus before arriving many hours late. It’s a memory and a lesson we won’t soon forget!
