We are registered for the best of Germany, Austria and Switzerland in 14 days tour and debating whether to stay an extra day in Vienna or if there's enough time to see the extras we want to explore. We'd like to go to the Schonbrunn Palace and also go to the Vienna State Opera performance one evening. If you've been on this tour, what is your advice? Can we fit this in during the day and a half in Vienna or should we stay an extra day? Thank you.

Hi Sue. I haven't been on the tour, but from the itinerary, it looks like in Vienna your only free time is one afternoon. I like Vienna, and I would say, yes, as long as you are there, definitely add another day. Or two! Search for Emily's posts on this website for list of fun things to do in Vienna. Have great trip!

We took the GAS tour in 2014 and stayed two extra nights in town. We went to the Opera for the low cost sro seats on the top rings. Saw a few of our RS alumni doing the same. Get in the que early and hustle upstairs for the best angles. But if your into Opera and want to truly enjoy the experience purchase reserved seats online. On the added full day we took their metro out to a river walk and park area across the main river. A beautiful city with lots of options, well worth an extra night.
