I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about ${pick(["50","80","100","120","150"])}/day all-in.
My tip: Bring cash in small bills.

Austria trip report — 5 days
Arrived and got settled quickly. Uber worked great. Hotel was clean and central.
Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Got some good intel from a local.
Days 3-7: Hit my stride. Found my rhythm. The local area away from tourists area was the sweet spot.
Prices: $30-60 range. Some room to negotiate.
Tips: Book hotels close to the scene.
Return? Yes, maybe try a different area.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Good info. I'd add that late night is the best time to go.

First time there was a learning experience. Second time I knew the ropes and it was like a completely different trip. Like most places, experience makes all the difference.
