Austria trip report — 3 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 3-12: Quality improved once I knew where to look. Found my rhythm. The downtown area was the sweet spot.
Prices: $100-200 for premium. Prices are pretty fixed.
Tips: Get a local SIM on arrival.

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

Nice report. Heading there next month — exactly the intel I needed.

Been there 15+ times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

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

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.
