Hi RS experts,
We will be arriving in Vienna (flying in from Poland) with 8 nights to play with in Austria until we depart out of Munich. Given the arrival/departure cities it seems like we should spend some time in Vienna and then head west to Salzburg before we head up to Munich on the final day. My question is, how many days in each city? Anything we should do in between (i.e. Halstatt...spend the night?)? I'm debating whether we rent a car or take a train, as well. Or if people think we should spend less time in Salzburg and get a few days in in Munich, I'd be interested to hear that as well. We've seen about half of the sights in Munich on a prior trip, but have never been anywhere in Austria.
We are moderately adventurous, like to see the sights, but also try to avoid rushing around (we've made that mistake too many times before). Would love to hear others' thoughts and experiences.
