First of all, ask yourself what kind of a holiday you're going to have. If you intend to do alot of sightseeing and walking, you should pack along a comfortable pair of shoes. If you plan on attending the world-famous Viennese Ball (To the lovely debutantes of this magical world... I ENVY you!), then obviously you will be packing along a bewitching ball gown! :-)) However, if you plan on having a relaxing holiday and visiting museums et al, then I'd suggest that you pack along some smart casuals and a lovely pair of shoes with you. Remember, no matter which country you are in, there are always a group of people who'd judge you by the way you dress. So, it is always advisable to look presentable at ALL times... unless of course, if you are Madonna herself. Then you can get away with ANYTHING! :-)
I ALWAYS, ALWAYS bring along at least 2 camaras with me... just in case one breaks down. My friends used to laugh at me.... until their one and only camera broke down. Then when they had to RELY SOLELY on me and my amateurish photographic skills, they stopped laughing. Yes, immediately. Serve them right! :-))
DON'T forget to bring along your ATM card and.... an open mind. Remember, if your ATM card is linked to international networks like 'Cirrus', 'Plus', 'The Exchange' and Maestro' etc, you can withdraw money from any ATM machines in the world. What's more, you'd even benefit from the low interbank exchange rates being given to you vis-a-vis if you were to change it at your local money-changer. I have survived on this method for ALL my trips abroad and so far, no ATM machines have failed me. Yes, even in the remotest villages in Africa. :-)) If you haven't tried this method, I challenge you to do so today. And be pleasantly surprised at how much you can save at the end of the day using this method. I kid you not, my dear friends... Photo Below: A panoramic view of the Ausstellungsstrasse.

Good walking shoes, as usual. A good jacket with lots of pockets, cause you are going to want to buy lots of stuff I'm sure.

If you intend on going to a concert in one of Vienna's major halls -- and especially at the Staatsoper or the Wiener Oper -- make sure you pack something half-way formal. Men should definitely wear a jacket and tie; women can get by with a simple party dress -- maybe your 'basic black.' The Viennese are a bit on the formal side, so if you appear in jeans and a tee shirt, you're likely to be subjected to a few rude-sounding sniffs at the very least. You may not even get in the door.
