in the summer: vienna gets very hot in the summer and does not cool down at night. most of the time you won't need a jacket at all. bring a light jacket or sweater and an umbrella. in the winter: vienna can get quite cold in the winter and it does snow occasionally. there is also a very unpleasant breeze sometimes in the winter which gives you the impression that it is way colder than it actually is.
if you are trying to avoid jetlag and are taking stuff like melatonin..you will not get it here. the drug has not been approved in austria. there are virtually no over-the-counter drugs except for aspirin. for every medication you have to go to pharmacy (even for aspirin), you will not get it in a supermarket.

Bring a windbreaker and umbrella in the summer. Dress in layers in the spring and fall because the temperatures range from day and night can be extreme. Winter, bring a hats, gloves and a heavy coat.
Vienna has clothing optional beaches and people changing in and out of swim suits in the open is not uncommon, so if you are shy bring a cover-up that you can change under since not all the swimming areas have changing facilities. Leave a Comment

Vienna is more predictable than most other Western European cities weather wise because it has more of a continental weather pattern. The summers are more hot and less wet than London, Paris, Amsterdam. The winters are colder. Bring layers because the temperature can change alot from day to day. Leave a Comment

North American Video-Camera Equipment or any other equipment that may need recharging will require the use of an adaptor. Buy an adaptor for continental Europe before you leave North America. Leave a Comment

This city is full of travelling international civil servants, thus its public transport system is very luggage-friendly. Escalators and elevators can be found at almost all U-bahn and Schnellbahn stations. Leave a Comment

Its often said and rarely done, but for the record, travel light. We went for 3 weeks, and my wife and I each had a large suitcase and a small carry-on bag. You'll especially appreciate this when you have to lug them around the airport and to/from your hotel. Also,if you go shopping, i.e., to the Billa, I would suggest you bring along some plastic bags for your groceries and what; if you don't, you'll either have to buy them or your arms will be quite full!
Good, compfortable walking shoes, preferably water-resistant are essential. An Umbrella would also be helpful. Vienna is a terrific city to walk in. We walked anywhere from 4-8 miles a day, all over the city, even with the outstanding subway/bus/tram system.
I brought a good 35mm camera, a new Advanced Photo System (APS) camera and a digital video camera, that I carried in soft briefcase type bag, slung around my neck. I found this to be very efficient and fairly comfortable, yet, no one knew I was carrying all that camera/video equipment. Again, I can't stress this enough, never, put down a piece of video or photographic equipment for even a moment, or it just might get snatched. Thus the need for an extra camera.
I'm sure I don't have to remind you North American's out there, but don't forget your electric converter kits. And be sure to read your manuals, especially if you are going to recharge batteries, for your video or laptop computers, thus avoiding any nasty surprises. Leave a Comment
