Visited Austria for 12 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $141/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8.5/10. One of my favourites.

This is outdated info IMO.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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

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

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to book hotels in advance.
