Where to go after Vienna

Posted by daniel.plwalsh on 01/29/20 04:07 PM

Hello!

My girlfriend and I are traveling to Vienna for four nights in December 2020. We will be using one of those days for a day trip to Bratislava. The other three days, we will be exploring Vienna and enjoying the Christmas markets.

We will have 4 more nights to spend in Europe before heading back to the US. We have considered Munich, but were curious as to which cities would be best for 4 nights, which are a train ride away from Vienna. We are interested in history, culture, and of course the Christmas markets.

Thanks!

If a train ride away also includes night trains you can reach large parts of Europe from Vienna.

Correct. We are up for a night train, if you have a favorite city in mind.

Vienna and Bratislava are wonderful at Christmas. My vote would be for Munich with a day trip to Nürnberg. We've been to all of them. Our next holiday trip will include Salzburg for sure.

Another vote for Budapest. A short train ride or shuttle ride with CK Shuttle (2.5 hours).

Budapest is my choice as well. We are headed there in May after a few days in Vienna.
