Places to stay: Pensions are usually cheaper than hotels, but very clean and nice. You may have to share a bathroom. Also, Vienna has some very decent and budget-friendly youth hostels.Where to eat: Delicious (!), inexpensive finger sandwiches at Trzesniewski in the first district (http://www.trzesniewski.at). Super fresh and delicious espresso or Cappucino and pastries are very reasonable at the Aida cafes all over the city.

Far, far cheaper and easier to get into than the venerable Staatsoper (State Opera) and Musikverein are the Konzerthaus (www.konzerthaus.at), Theater an der Wien (the best opera company in Vienna: www.theater-wien.at), and Volksoper (www.volksoper.at), as well as smaller companies like Wiener Kammeroper and Neue Oper Wien.

The Vienna Opera (Wiener Oper) is great, but don’t get the standing room tickets; pay the 20 euros for a cheap seat–I love the opera and standing for over four hours was just too much, even in sneakers. One great place to go is the Haus der Musik, a museum dedicated to music in this historic city. It’s a fun way to spend an afternoon.

You can fly into Bratislava on low cost carriers. Bratislava to Vienna (64 km/40 miles). Vienna and Bratislava are supposedly the two closest capital cities in the world.You can travel from Vienna to Bratislava by train or by bus, in season also on hydrofoil and from May 2006 three times per day with the twin city liner speedboat. The trains are the fastest option due to possible delays for cars and buses at the border.
