A GUIDE TO PLANNINGA MONTH IN VIENNA

When I retired, my short list of things to do included spending more time in

Vienna, Austria. In the past two years I have done so, making month-long

visits to the city in early Spring 2011 and 2012. They were so much fun, I

plan to continue these extended stays in coming years.

Staying a month in Vienna has advantages over shorter trips there. One is

that I do not feel the need to cram everything I want to do into just a few

days, so my pace is more leisurely and relaxed. Also, an extended vacation

in the city ensures that I have a wider selection of concerts, operas, and

other events from which to choose. For example, during both of my month-long visits, the Musikverein had an orchestra playing Mahlers Das Lied von

der Erde, a favorite, and had other attractive offerings scattered among

other concerts that did not interest me.

With more time to amble about the

city, I made multiple visits to the

Saturday flea market at

Naschmarkt, filling my bags with

fascinating old pictures, postcards,and books. Also, I went several

times to the book and stamp room

of the Dorotheum (adding more

things to cart back home), and even

attended an auction there. The

extra time in the city also gave me

time to walk around some of areas of the city, such as Simmering, that I

have rarely visited.

A month in Vienna not only provide opportunities for more exploration of the

city, but also can be economical. The cost per day of vacationing in Vienna

can be significantly reduced by renting an apartment for thirty days or more.

Also, because rental apartments have fully equipped kitchens, money can be

saved by making and eating meals there, dining out only on special

occasions.

he monthly cost of renting a comfortable, fully equipped apartment starts at

about $50 per day for a place large enough for one or two people. Acomparable hotel room, without a kitchen, would cost at least $100. If two

unrelated people want an apartment large enough for two separate sleeping

areas, the cost per person starts at around $35 per person per day.

If you enjoy Vienna and have the time, a month-long visit may make sense.

Here are some things to consider when planning such a trip and some tools

to help.

When to Go

For me, any month is a good month to be Vienna, but some months are

better than the others. The least desirable months for a longer stay are July

and August. During these months, the Staatsoper, Volksoper, Burgtheater,

and Musikverein do not offer their regular fare of performances. Major

orchestras and production companies are traveling or on vacation. However,

all is not lost during these months because the city provides some music,

outdoor theater, and other attractions for tourists, often at spectacular

outdoor venues such as

the City Hall plaza and

Schnbrunn Palace.

Two other things to

consider when thinking

about a July or August

stay in Vienna: First,

most apartments arenot air conditioned, and

these months can be

scorchers. Second,

finding a bargain or

even reasonably priced

flight from the United States to Vienna during these months is likely to be

more difficult than during other months.

The other ten months do not have the same drawbacks as July and August,

and each has its own advantages. My choice in 2010 was to spend themonth of April in Vienna. In 2011, I left a week earlier, arriving in Vienna

during the last week of March and staying to the last week in April. I

selected these months because:

Flights from Seattle to Vienna were reasonably priced during this

period (about $1,000)

I expected the weather to be decent, and both years, it was very

comfortable in Vienna during these months, with only a fewuncomfortable days.

The city would not be too crowded with tourists; there were plenty,

but not hoards.

Viennas Easter markets were open during these times. Easter

markets -- at Freyung and Schoenbrunn -- have booths with food and

handicrafts, plus attractive Easter decorations. They are fun to visit

I would have a good choice of apartments for the month.

In both 2011 and 2012, the timing of my month-long stays worked out well.

However, two things that I enjoy were unavailable until the end of my time

in Vienna. First, because of the iffy weather, few musical events were held at

outdoor venues. Outdoor concerts and other events are usually fun in Vienna

and many are available in warmer months. Second, the citys Heuriger

(places located near the Vienna Woods serving new wine) did not offeroutside seating until the weather warmed near the end of my vacation.

Sitting outside at a Heuriger, surrounded by vineyards, is one of the true

pleasures of a visit to Vienna.

No doubt, May, June, September, and October are spectacular months to be

in Vienna, though they cost a little more and are more crowded. The citys


5/12

annual arts festival (Wiener Festwochen) starts in May, offering some of the

best musical and other cultural events of the year. The festival continues

through June, and is supplemented that month by many special outdoor

events. In September and October, the weather cools and the new concert

and opera seasons open. These months are great for tromping around theVienna Woods and sipping new wine in Grinzing, Heiligenstadt, and

Nussdorf.

Although a visit that straddles November and

December might include some very cold days,

it would also provide an opportunity to visit

Viennas Christmas Markets that open around

the middle of November and last until

Christmas. At last count, Vienna had thirteendifferent Christmas markets

(seehttp://www.vienna4u.at/christmasmarket

.htmlfor descriptions and locations). My

favorites are the old Vienna Christkindlmarkt

at Freyung; the large, colorful

Christkindlmarkt in front of the Vienna city

hall; and the Christmas village

(Weihnachtsdorf) located at the old hospital,which is now part of the University of Vienna,.

These Christmas markets are a treat to visit. I have timed several week-long

Vienna vacations to be there in early December so that I could enjoy the

warm wine, decorative lights, historic settings, and gemtlichkeit of these

Christmas markets. In some years, the evenings at these colorful markets

were comfortable; during a few years, the cold was almost unbearable.

Where to Stay: Finding an Apartment

In both 2010 and 2011, I found an apartment for my month-long stay using

the internet. Both years, I spent several hours comparing options, finally

choosing one in a preferred location at a reasonable price.

In 2010, I traveled to Vienna with a friend -- a former college roommate --

who had recently retired and had never visited Vienna. We want a space

large enough to have two sleeping areas. We ended up in a 70+ square

meter apartment on Schopenhauergasse in the 19th district (about four

blocks from the Volksoper). It was fully equipped with wireless internet,dish- and clothes- washers, cable television, and kitchen. Bedding, towels,

dishes and other necessities for daily life were provided. The apartment had

one bedroom and one very large living room/kitchen area. Moving an extra

bed from the bedroom to the living room, we had the two living areas we

wanted.

The apartment was nicely

maintained. After

occupying it, we did notsee the apartment owner

again, though we talked

to her on the telephone

on different occasions.

We cleaned the

apartment (with the

equipment that was

provided) and washed our

bedding.

The location of the

apartment was nearly perfect. It was on a quiet residential street a short

walk to the streetcar on Whringerstrasse and two nearby subway stops.

Several small grocery stores and bakeries were within four blocks. Also, a

couple of block away was an outdoor market with fresh vegetables, plus

some good baked and cooked goods.

We paid just under $2,000 for the apartment (including utilities), about $33

per night per person. The utilities were included in the price. The only

disconcerting thing about renting the apartment was that I had to wire the

full payment for it in a couple of months advance. The owner did not take

credit cards. Wiring this amount of money to an unknown person was a bit

of a leap of faith. Fortunately, it worked out well.

In 2011, I rented a smaller apartment (36 sq meters) for myself in the 6th

district, on Liniengasse. The price was about $1,500, or $50 per night. I

chose the apartment for its location (a short walk from the West Train

Station, near Mariahilferstrasse) and amenities. It was on the third floor of afive-story building; a small grocery store was on the first floor. From the

apartment, it was a short walk to a bus stop on Gumperdorferstrasse and to

a subway station.

The owner went out of her way to make

the stay there enjoyable, meeting me at

the West Train Station to guide me to

the apartment and offering to clean and

wash the bedding whenever I wantedher to. As with the other apartment, it

was fully equipped, including such extras

as a microwave and electric tea pot.

Again, I paid for the apartment several

weeks in advance, but this time I was

allowed to use Paypal, which meant that

I could use my credit card and had some

protection if something went wrong with

the rental.

I describe my experience renting two

apartments to illustrate the rental

process and how easy it was. If you

have an interest in renting an apartment

for a month or longer stay, I suggest

that you check out these three websites:

I used the first one for my two rentals, though I also checked rental

accommodations (and even tried to rent an apartment) using the second

one. I have not used the third one.

Each of these sites provide, in German and English, a list of apartments for

rent with a description, pictures, and a location map for each apartment. The

first site, www.apartmentnetzwerk.at, is easiest to navigate (though it is by

no means elegant) and it has a calendar showing for each apartment the

days that it has been rented and the days it is available. Using an interactive

page, you can check price and make a reservation by entering the first and

last days that you would like to rent the apartment. This page will confirm

the apartments availability during the days you want it and show the price.

At that point, you can use the interactive page to reserve the apartment forthe days you selected. After you make a reservation, the apartment owner

will contact you by email with information about payment.

The last time I looked at this site (June 2012), it had listings for 359

apartments. These listing could be sorted by price or by location (district).

One thing is important to remember: for many of these apartments, to get a

bargain price you need to stay a full 30 days (a month). For example, when

I searched the price of the apartment on Liniengasse where I stayed this

year, I found the price was 1,785 Euros from November 1 to November 30

(29 days), but was 1,125 Euros from November 1 to December 1 (30 days).

The second website is a bit clumsier. However, it has one feature that is

better than the first site: it allows sorting of apartments by category

(economy, standard, premium), location (district), and features (smoking,

pets, internet, parking, elevator). Thus, it can help you find an apartment

that best meets your needs if you have a special situation (e.g., traveling

with a dog). Unfortunately, this website does not have the calendar featureshowing the dates that the apartments are available. It also requires more

clicking to find pictures, price, and descriptions. If you find an apartment

that you want to rent, you must complete a form specifying the apartment

and the days you would like to rent it, then the site operators will respond

by e-mail in a few hours letting you know if the apartment is available when


9/12

you want it and its price. This site had about 145 apartment units listed for

rent.

In early 2011, had some problems reserving an apartment using this site.

Twice, I sent, via the web site, an inquiry about renting an apartment. Eachtime the response stated that the apartment was not available on the dates I

requested. Because of time zone differences and the lag between completing

the apartment inquiry form and the response, I wasted several days trying

to rent, without success, an apartment though this site.

The third site allows sorting by district, apartment name, number of persons

accommodated, size, and quality rating. In June 2011, it had 196

apartments listed. Like the second website, it does not show on-line the

availability of apartments, instead requiring completion of an inquiry form todetermine if a specific apartment is available during the days that a person

wants to rent it.

In addition to these two websites, you might also wish to check for an

apartment on the Vienna Craigslist. I suggest looking at two locations on

Craigslist. The first is

http://vienna.en.craigslist.at/vac/

This set of listings is mostly for daily and weekly rentals, but occasionally

has listings for longer term stays.

The second site ishttp://vienna.en.craigslist.at/apa/ It might be worthwhile

to keep an eye on these listings. They ads by people who want to rent their

apartments some specified period (weeks to months) while they will be

away. With a little luck, it may be possible to get a good deal on such a

rental for the weeks that you plan to spend in Vienna.

Many other websites offer apartments for rent. Many of these website are for

short-term rentals, including these:

Other websites offer a small set of apartments located together or near each

other. In most cases, these apartments are available for short-term or

longer term rental.

Planning for your Month in Vienna

When you know the days that you plan to be in Vienna, it makes sense to

purchase tickets for major cultural events in advance. Of course, the earlier

you decide which events you want to attend, the more likely you will be ableto buy tickets before the event is sold out. Also, you are more likely to be

able to find tickets in your preferred price range. There seems to be no

shortage of tickets costing several hundred dollars each, but tickets costing

$30 to $60 each

are much harder

to find for the

more popular

events.

A good first stop

for planning the

trip to Vienna is

this website,

which provides an

overview of whatis happening in

Vienna and what

will be happening

in the coming months:

This site is comprehensive, showing not only the high culture events, but

also pop concerts, diverse performances, outdoor festivals, and other public

events of all kinds. A branch of this site has a searchable listing of events

by day and location:http://events.wien.info/en/

You can also research events and buy tickets for them at for-profit websites,

including:

http://www.viennaticketoffice.com/home_en.php

http://www.viennaclassic.com/uebersicht.php?comefrom=uebersicht&navid

=100&sid=ff9e08d98847f9d369207080441e4596&setlang=E

When it comes to the premium music events in Vienna, I prefer to buydirectly from the official ticket office of the Musikverein, Konzerthaus,

Volksoper, and Staatsoper. When buying directly on their websites, it is easy

to review the schedule of upcoming performances , select the ones to

attend, pick the seat(s) that I want, and purchase the tickets.

The sites for concerts are:

http://www.musikverein.at/

http://konzerthaus.at/home_e

(If the home page appears in German, it can be changed to English by

clicking the EN button at the top of the page.)

You can use these websites to find the concerts at the Musikverein and

Konzerthaus for coming months, and you can buy tickets, selecting the price

range you want and selecting your seats. To buy tickets, you will need toestablish an account at the sites, which is very easy. Also, you can sign up

for email updates that will keep you informed of coming events. After you

The sites for the Vienna State Opera and the Volksoper have similar pages,

easy to negotiate, to identify performances scheduled for each month and

buy the tickets you want.

http://www.wiener-staatsoper.at/Content.Node/home/Startseite-Content.en.php

http://www.volksoper.at/Content.Node2/home/index.en.php

I have used these pages for several years and have never had any problems

with them. Just remember to print out receipts for your purchases and take

them with you.

Time to Go

By finding the right apartment, a person traveling alone should be able to

have great month in Vienna for about $150 per day; a couple traveling

together can have a month in the city for about $135 per person per day.

For a single traveler, the costs include $1,000 for an international flight,

$1,500 for an apartment, and $2,000 ($67 per day) for everything else

(meals, transportation, entertainment). For a couple, the expenses include

$2,000 for international transportation, $2,200 for an apartment, and $65

per day per person for everything else.

If those costs fit your budget, if you have the time, and if you enjoy what

the great city has to offer, its time to go.
