 PLUG THE GAP IN YOUR
PACKING by themajor
Good thick walking socks are excellent standbys...'er, unless you happen to be going surfing. Mind you I could see that catching on - a splendid way of polishing your board whilst bedazzling the ladies with suitably sartorial sock designs!
Stiff moustache wax is a must for the gentleman traveller. I carry mine at all times - I do, honestly! "But wait Major," I hear you cry, "Surely that cannot be so because not all male travellers have moustaches?" To which I reply, "True but not all male travellers are gentlemen!"
Alas, the days of the large mahogany plate camera have all but passed with the disappearance of the manservant and the rise in weight related hernias! However, I must say that these new fangled digital cameras are jolly good if and when you remember to charge them of course! All the snaps on this site were taken with a Fuji MX 1700 digital camera I bought some years ago - needless to say, you can now buy one with three times the pixels for a third of the cost!
Camping is always a touch more enjoyable if you remember to take a tent. You may use this advice freely...
I shall endeavour to be sensible for a moment. Whatever you do, don't forget your adapters and travel plugs for cameras, electric razors etc Alas, I did, and I shall regale you with my tale of woe within the shopping section! Leave a Comment

Vienna is a wonderful city, with many attractions.
All the much as possible to see of this city, you need comfortable shoes and clothing.
For a snug evening, in a sophisticated restaurant, or for one opera concert, you need fashionable and festive clothing.
No matter what you carry into your suitcase, you will have in Vienna, an agreeable and unforgettable one stay.
A camera and possibly also a video camera is a necessity for a trip to Vienna. Leave a Comment

 A random street in Vienna by ErinInMD
When I was there - which was May ... the weather was warm, cold, windy and rainy. That doesn't make it easy when you're trying to pack.
I highly recommend comfy shoes because you will be doing a lot of walking on cobblestone streets. I wore heels for one night only and I only had to walk two blocks and that was a challenge!
A small umbrella and a light sweater are wise things to bring in the spring. I found myself having to buy an extra sweater/coat because the evenings were a bit on the chilly side.
The wind can be wicked - so if you have long hair, you'll want to bring something to tie it back when the wind starts ripping. Unless, of course you're really trying to go for the windblown look. Who am I to judge?
I always bring Band-Aids if I know I'll being walking a lot. Luckily I didn't need them this trip.
If you need to go to a drugstore (Apotheke), you should know that their hours vary, but a sign will be posted to let you know which ones are open.
Digitial cameras are the way to go. Bring extra charged batteries while you're walking around town because you will use up the main battery with all the pictures you'll take of the amazing buildings. Leave a Comment

If you want to be able to feel comfortable now matter what restaurant or bar you walk into dress nicely. I brought dress pants, comfortable dress/walking boots - blouses and jackets. My husband wore chino's and collared shirts - that way no matter where we went - we were never under dressed...and believe me in this city - it's too easy to be UNDERDRESSED! Leave a Comment

It is very hot in Vienna now (27 May 2007) ~ day temperature up to 31 Celsius & evening can be 25 C. You will need light-weight breathable clothings such as cotton or linen, comfortable walking sandals or shoes, and a good hat or cap. Don't forget your cool-looking dark sunglasses!
Bring lots of sun-screen and sunblock lotions or creams for face and body to protect against the strong UV sun rays.
If possible, bring along a small travel battery-operated fans or the hand manual fans. Carry around a bottle of water.

 Me in Vienna by Krumlovgirl
Definitely pack walking shoes because you'll be doing a lot of it. Cobble stones are nice, but get hard on your feet so think comfortable when packing shoes. You also might want to pack some dress shoes, too, in case you want to go to the opera or to a show. I advise packing some dress tuff in general anyway. Vienna is a bit of a dressy place and it's fun to get dolled up.
You can pretty much find whatever you need at a local Apotheke or supermarket. I wouldn't pack anything medical unles sit was your usual prescriptions.
They have the same film we do, but it can be expensive in touristy areas. I always pack at least five or six rolls, depending on how long I'm going to be gone. Sometimes more. Leave a Comment

While the major attractions in Vienna are concentrated in a relatively small area, you'll still have to do a lot of walking during your visit to see everything. If you take the subway you'll miss all the great things above you! Be sure to bring comfortable shoes to keep your feet happy; otherwise you'll miss out on a lot of very interesting sights.
