Visited Austria for 5 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing fair.
Spent $74/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Exceeded expectations.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.
