    Here's one I made: I didn't keep track of the closing time of the Schönbrunn and got locked on the grounds. I saw some people climbing the wall, which I also did. When I got to the top, I was afraid to climb down. There was a restaurant across the street with a ladder outside. I asked if they might move it to me so I could climb down. I was refused. Finally, a man climbed up the wall and guided my feet down.

    The shoes tip is true for many cities in Europe. Always wear comfortable walking shoes.
    And in most cities in Europe, public transport is easier and cheaper than hiring a car. I wouldn't consider driving into the centre of my local city of Leeds, let alone any of the larger cities.
    My tip for Vienna would be that when you visit Schönbrunn, after you've done the tour, walk up the hill behind the palace. The views are fantastic.

      @@MrWalter2202 I completely agree, but only if you tip with cash. In Austria, we don't have a well-established system for adding tips directly on the card terminal. So, if you round up the bill from 13.80 to 15.00 and pay with your card, the 1.20 difference is not directly considered as a tip. Instead, it becomes part of the restaurant's revenue. The transaction is only recognized as a tip if you explicitly select a tip amount on the card terminal. There is a reason why waiters in Austria appreciate tips in cash instead of card transactions.

    well, if one wants to enjoy super nice skyline of Vienna without paying a single extra penny (besides the daily/weekly ticket), then one of my personal faves is taking a tram to the terminus at Nussdorf, then taking one of couple possible routes up to Kahlenberg - either by following the street or, when the weather is dry, you can do some challenging climb through the vineyards... either way, you get a view of the skyline that even the one you mentioned cant really compare, as you are getting near the very top of Vienna :D
    Habsburgswarte at Hermannskogel is allegedly great too, as it sits atop the highest hill in Vienna, but that one is only open in good weather... which unfortunately I was unlucky for, since right when I got there it started raining massively... and me, an unaware fool, took the other way down... down one of the steepest descents in Vienna, 40% of slippery goodness at times... I nearly s*** myself in there... and once I got to the bottom, a sign saying "Steep incline" in German greeted me there :D I mean, really? such a sick sense of humor :D

      Sounds like a rainy adventure that you will be able to tell your grandkids one day, Miroslaw. You mentioned Kahlenberg, which brings up a particular memory from 1971 when I was a student in Vienna. I remember walking up a wide and well traveled path up to Kahlenberg from the base where the bus left me off. I remember it being a weekend, sunny nice weather, and many many people were walking up that path to the Kahlenberg summit. There were even people with disabilities that I assumed might have been from WWII (but I have no idea). But I do remember thinking that the Austrians loved being outdoors in nature and enjoying their walks. Thanks for sharing your story, Miroslaw.

      or my epic journey from Neuwaldegg via Exelberg and pretty much following Tullner Strasse, which is a winding road that goes like... really upwards... and it kept creeping uphill until a short distance from Koenigstetten, when the forest opened, oooh man the view :))) ... then a loooong descent towards the small town and onwards to Tulln
      which to my susprise had a fighter jet at the entry point to the town (surprising cos it is sometimes called Blumenstadt or Gartenstadt because of so many flowers/gardens everywhere) - but then, there is a nearby airfield and an Austrian army base near there, so maybe not that surprising :)
      ok, got a bit carried away :) anyway, this year I got to know Vienna pretty well, every single "Bezirk", and now pretty much just trying new routes anywhere... now just to get a job and some accomodation later :D

      @@RazielKainus I checked out some of your Austrian locations on Google Earth. So beautiful when you get in the forests outside of Vienna. However, be safe. I personally would not go off the normal paths because I would be afraid of getting lost. It is nice that you like to explore. Just don’t go down muddy paths in the middle of a forest. :-). Interestingly, I kept a paper journal of that special year in Vienna (my only journal). I’m glad that I did because it helps to remember what I did. If you are going on special travels - I don’t know, keep a paper journal and write some notes in it. Of course, with phones today, take plenty of photos. Besides Kahlenberg my only other experience in the Vienna Woods was hiking on some paths. However, I have no idea where I was on these paths. When I was in Vienna in 1971 (21 yrs old), I mostly studied in school and went to a lot of operas and concerts (standing room was affordable). All of this is why it was an amazing year. Keep a journal. Take photos. And good luck in finding a job and place to stay. I lived with an elderly hausfrau - sharing a room in her apartment - the school set it up. And it was so close to the Ringstrasse that I could go to those concerts. However, I’ve been told that today, living in those close districts today is very expensive and airBnbs are crazy expensive. I guess I was lucky. Best of luck to you.

    Arrived at Vienna airport around 6am. Found my way to the railway station. No staff present to sell me a train ticket to the city. Needed to make a payment at the ticket machine to get a ticket. When I board the train the first OBB staff I see are the ticket inspecters setting up for a fine. Luckily I had worked out how to arm myself with a ticket. Great welcome to your country. Can you still smell sewerage in the city centre right beside the footpath "cafes"?. Figmullers was memorable but they crammed me in on the end of a group table as I was by myself.

    Mistake No. 0 would be eating Schnitzel at Figlmüller in the center. Go to Figl´s (same owner) in Grinzing instead and order a Kalbswiener.

    Cash is also needed for restrooms. Carry change. They cost .50 to 1 euro. You also need cash for tips in restaurants. You don't want to add it to your cc bill. Waiter may not get it.
    Public transportation is great. I found a day pass cheaper online than at a kiosk but for some reason, I couldn't complete the transaction. If you get a paper ticket pass, make sure you validate before you use it.
    Sundays are so serious here, malls are closed.
    Purchase popular palace and museum tickets a day or two before you go and not on the day of. I found out the hard way they sell out fast. I was in vienna in April, hardly major tourist month.

      it is usually easier and more convenient to use Westbahn or ÖBB (train) rather than renting a car. If you wanna explore the surroundings of Salzburg - like Hallstatt or Salzkammergut - then you might want to consider renting a car. But not mandatory

    The actual and most important reason why people here prefer cash is to maintain independence from banks and anonymity. Without cash dictatorship and complete police control is easier to implement. You should pay always with cash when you can. Please don’t say “people STILL prefer cash” this has nothing to do with technological developments. This will not be any different in 100 years given that local citizens keep on being smart. Otherwise a nice video and yes public transport is much cheaper, environmentally friendly and faster than cars here and actually in most European cities.

It not only offers the convenience of storing your Vienna City Card directly, but also serves as a comprehensive guide for the city, providing helpful information and tips.
      Although I haven't had a chance to try it out personally, the reviews so far have been quite positive. If you're thinking of getting the Vienna City Card, you can support our channel by using our referral code during the purchase process, and it won't cost you anything extra:

    Sundays are to be dedicated to following the Command to worship Holy God and not offend Him with participating in commercial activities.
    All Christian countries used to honor that Command by not having business activities on Sundays!
    Nearly 2 centuries ago, (in France) it had been revealed by Heaven that if people did not change their ways: i.e. stop the blasphemous language and commerce on Sunday, great World Wars would be punishment specifically for those 2 sins against God.
    Given that today there are far more, not fewer, sins by humanity, we do well to prepare 🙏 for greater chastisements...
