Hi, I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on where to stay just outside of Vienna that may be cheaper? I am traveling with my husband and three children and like to rent houses/apartments. (Aug 18-21)Thank you. Heather
Do you only want to stay in a house/apartment? If not, I know of a pension on the outskirts of Vienna. If you want info for that type of lodging, then send me a personal message.
We have stayed in Floridsdorf which is across the Danube from the main city. We have stayed at Ilona Kaminek's apartments there. Very nice apartments at a very good price. You are only about 10-15 minutes from city center via the S-Bahn. http://www.apartment.at/apartment/193 If you want something closer that is within about 5 min by U-Bahn try Beatrix Walkner's Apartments Augarten. We stayed there over Christmas and loved it. U-bahn station is right out in front of the building so you can be in City Center very quick.
