Public transport can be...

by Tenzin

Public transport can be horrendously expensive. An hour bus journey is equivalent to a 5 hour trip from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia in terms of dollars and cents. Forget about taxis. I wanted to visit the salt mine in Halien and naively thought that I could do it on two legs. Try walking up the hill with two other lady companions who obviously felt you have taken them for a ride on their poor legs that is. Thank goodness for a kind soul who stopped his car and volunteered to drive us there.And my goodness what a magnificent view it was from the hilltop. The salt mine's highlight was the slide about 4 storeys down the mine. Don't worry about your pants, you will be provided with overalls.

The two times, I have been in this country, I have arrived by train. To cross this beautiful land, west to east, and north and south, its a great experience to your visual sense.I must confess, that I am a train fanatic, I love this mode of transport, it is just so relaxing, and what a wonderful way of seeing this country.

by clemens

when using the austrian railway company (ÖBB) you can save about 5% (or so) if you buy the ticket online at http://www.oebb.atIf you travell in groups it often pays to buy a group ticket it's available for groups of ten persons or more and each pays only 30% of the full price! (If you are less you could of course buy a ticket for 10 persons and tell the conductor a story like the others missed the train or are on the restroom ;-)

by clemens

When renting a car in wintertime be aware that it can get quite icy and snow a lot.Check for wintertires and chains (and know how to put them on). And drive according to the road condition - one really is surprised how far a car can slide on a layer of ice...In general one can drive safely with winter tyres in Cities and on the Autobahn. But especially when going up into the mountains chains are neccesary (once the road is icy...

The best way to get to Austria...

by evilboomer

The best way to get to Austria is by train (when you come like me from Germany). I took the nighttrain. But when you come from an other country not direct neighbour to austria it's better to take the airplane. Getting around in Austria is better to take the train or the bus or the own car.
