Prepare for a Hot, Hot, Hot Summer
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.

Ouch - pack sensible shoes
Probably most of you already know this, but I can't point out enough how valuable comfy shoes are in Vienna. First, the cobblestone streets really kill your feet and second, most of the attractions are in the city center, so you won't be riding the subway or streetcar much, but rather walk everywhere. I didn't start out with the most comfortable shoes and those are my feet on the second day. In case the photo isn't good - there are bandaids all over the toes and red marks from the shoes.

to bring
at the time of my visit, the temperature in vienna didn't go above freezing so, too bad for me. however, i knew that beforehand (thanks to accuweather.com). always check what the weather will be like especially if you're travelling during the winter so you can anticipate any problems that might arise. insulated boots are perfect since you'll still be doing a lot of walking and you don't want to be burdened by the weight of your shoes. when in doubt, wear layers, you can always take a layer off if it gets too warm (it didn't happen in my case tho!). a hat/scarf/gloves - a lot of heat gets lost from your head so cover up. i wish i'd thought to bring handwarmers with me - gloves weren't enough.

Packing list for Early June
If possible try to leave whatever you don't need at your hotel. Large backpacks or visible cameras will make it obvious you are a tourist and makes it more likely that you will be a target for pick pockets or those wishing to rip you off. As with all European cities, try to fit in with the locals as best as possible.

Weather is usually nice in June therefore light clothes is the best to bring, although still bring a light jacket in case it rains or is cool. If going to a classical music concert, dress up in, at the minimum business casual. A shirt and a sports jacket should be worn and even wearing a tie is preferable. Do not wear jeans, T-Shirts, or shorts if going to a classical music concert.

What To Take?
If you're into shopping (not my case), it's advised to take an extra bag. You can always put it in another bag if you don't need it!

Always take good walking shoes because you'll cover a lot of kms walking round the city. It's also advised to wear layers of clothing for the same reason.

If you're staying in a hostel, you'll be asked to take your towels, soap and other toiletries.

Be sure to have a good camera so that you can capture all the beauties of this wonderful city.

The weather in Vienna's changeable, at least it was such when we visited it, so you'd better take something warm, and don't go anywhere without your umbrella or a raincoat that you can put in your rucksack.

    Thermals like my mum said!
    Just bring one average sized bag and pack light, even in Winter - I was lugging a 35kg bag around with me - not pretty.

    Boots Boots Boots. Flat/Heels/Cowboy, whatever. Just keep your feet covered as much as possible. I also took a thermal vest and leggings (oh my goodness please don't try to imagine that picture, I am only 26!) but I must say I was very warm. I could wear jeans, a long sleeved top and a long coat. Bring a hat that covers your ears because your ears get very very cold, especially the tips! And of course, gloves are a must. Sydney siders - don't bring the ones we wear in Sydney! If you do, bring 3 pairs!

    I brought a 35 mm SLR and a Canon Ixus 400. To be honest, my next trip will be with the digital only. There's too much to carry otherwise. But bring your own lithium batteries... these can get expensive in Europe.

    Packing...
    Take a comfortable backpack with not too much weight...

    Good walking shoes are a must...you will probably walk almost everywhere you go...

    Make sure you take a lot of film for the many photos you will want to take. A zoom lens also comes in handy for getting to those 'hard to reach' places... A tripod is a great addition too for those night photos...Vienna has some great buildings to photograph at night...
