Tatiana and Andrey Nechaev, Moscow

Ekaterina, good afternoon! Thank you, I had a great trip, the room was what I wanted (with a view of the park and a bathroom). I was very pleased. Thank you.

The only thing is that the transfer, in addition to me, met other women who were brought to Karlovy Vary and I had to travel instead of 2 hours from Prague to Marianske Lazne for 3 hours. This, of course, was not convenient; they brought me there in the evening. Of course, it would be more convenient to fly to Karlovy Vary.

Larisa, Perm

Hello, Ekaterina. Our trip was a success.

The hotel is good. Repair, furniture, plumbing, bed linen - in excellent condition, no comments. Very clean and comfortable.

Breakfast was the same every day, but with a good assortment - so you could diversify your menu simply by choosing different dishes.

There is a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, cream in the room. We used it. Tea was added daily. Linen and towels were changed twice a week.

The hotel is located in a quiet area, there is no noisy crowd. There are several direct tram routes to the center (to the railway station, to shopping centers, and to main attractions).

The drive is less than half an hour. 2 stops near the hotel: one right under the windows, the other a 5-minute walk at a walking pace.

Lyubov Leonidovna, Moscow

Ekaterina, hello! I apologize for not dropping you a couple of lines earlier: I was sorting out my affairs, sorting out my suitcase - or vice versa.

Special thanks and low bow to the host - "Armenia Travel". The drivers are beyond praise, the guide Liya Bakhshinyan is a true professional and a very sincere, sincere person. Over the course of a week of close communication, we became almost family.

Lakes of Austria

Between Lake Constance in the west of Austria and Lake Neusiedler See in the east of the country there are about a hundred large and almost a thousand small mountain lakes and ponds.

You have the opportunity to choose between an outdoor swimming pool, a quiet pond or a lake where active sports life is in full swing. The country cares about the cleanliness of the waters in its lakes. Drainage systems and methods for improving the water in lakes have led to the fact that the waters of most lakes in Austria are comparable in quality to drinking water.

Listed below are Austrian regions famous for their lakes, suitable for swimming and as activity centers. various types water sports.

The most famous Austrian lakes by region

VORARLBERG
Bodenskoe a lake 63 km long and up to 15 km wide, which is in the very west of Austria, its shores also extend to Switzerland and Germany. The main water area of ​​the lake belongs to these countries, and Austria owns only 38 sq. km.
To enjoy all its splendor, take the ski lift to the Pfander peak (1,062 m), which is located near Bregenz, the capital federal state Vorarlberg. Bregenz is the largest port of Lake Constance. To the south of Bregenz, in the Rhine delta, there are dense reed thickets, which are a bird sanctuary.

Good afternoon, today I will tell you what it consists of and how much a trip to Austria costs. About how much you can expect when planning your travel budget and how you can cut costs. I'll show you our budget report (you can see the route). Based on our report, you can calculate your budget and plan your trip.

Any trip consists of costs:

• for an air ticket
• to pay for housing
• to purchase a visa to the country
• for insurance
• for food
• for excursions and entertainment
• car rent

The first thing to remember is that in large countries there are several airports. That airports are located in different cities. That the cost of air tickets in Austria by city can vary greatly.

Much depends on the season and time of purchase (the earlier you buy, the cheaper the ticket will be). I am showing a screenshot of prices for mid-April 2020.

Here are the major cities in Austria that have airports: Vienna, Salzburg, Graz, Innsbruck, Linz, Klagenfurt.

Here is a screenshot where you can see the price difference:

As you can see, the best priced ticket is an air ticket to Vienna, from 106 € round trip.

True, not all cities on this list can be reached from Russia by direct flight. It will be faster and easier to get to Vienna with a direct flight with Austrian Airlines. To other cities there are flights with transfers in Berlin, Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Helsinki and other European cities.

For us it's important information. If we wish, we can choose a flight with a long layover (+ 1 day), get off at the airport, see another city, and then continue our journey.

Important : Sometimes airlines have ticket sales or discounts. To buy a profitable and convenient ticket you need monitor proposals. As soon as you see something good, check the conditions and buy immediately. Such offers fly away instantly.

How much does a visa cost?

Austria is part of the Schengen union. For us (Russians) this means that purchasing a visa is mandatory. To obtain a visa to Austria, you must submit correctly completed documents.

note: Many companies offer visa processing services. This means you will give them everything. Required documents, take them to the visa center, and they undertake to deliver the documents to you. Such a service can cost 5 or 6 thousand rubles. At the same time, you must understand that you prepare, collect, deliver and correctly complete the documents yourself. They also tell you the requirements. And the requirements are clearly stated on the official websites of visa centers.

Those. in fact, you pay for the delivery of documents from visa center. Whether it's worth doing is up to you to decide.

Applying for a visa to Austria yourself costs 35 €, plus a service fee of 20 €. The expiration date of the passport must be at least 6 months.

One of the rules for obtaining a visa implies that you must have a certain amount of funds (money) in your account. Many countries specify this amount in their visa requirements. Some countries do not specify a clear amount.

But the calculation is approximately this: 50 - 65 euros for each day of stay in the country. Your bank account statement shows your level of financial security.

When calculating your travel budget, you should take into account that this is the “average daily norm”. You can spend more, or you can cut costs and spend less money. No one can force you to spend 50 euros a day)

The Austrian Visa Service Center in Moscow is located at Dubininskaya 35. There are also visa centers in Kazan, Krasnodar, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Samara, Rostoy-on-Don, Krasnoyarsk and others major cities Russia. The entire list can be viewed at website Austria Visa Application Center.

Important news: From September 14, 2015, Russians will be required to be present in person when applying for a visa to provide biometric data (fingerprints and digital photographs). This applies to tourists who request short-term visas for up to 90 days per six months. You only need to provide biometric data once. After this, your fingerprints will be stored in a database.

How much does it cost to stay

In Austria, as in other European countries, there is a huge selection of housing. A bed in an eight-person room in a hostel, a single or double room in 2-5 star hotels, apartments and apartments with a kitchen, luxury rooms with a swimming pool. It's all there. Choose according to your budget. Our accommodation booking service will help you with this. roomguru. We use this service.

Vienna has a well-developed metro and other types of public transport, so you don’t have to worry about finding housing in the very center of the capital. You can find options in other areas. Vienna's main attractions can be reached in 15 minutes. The cost of the metro will be cheaper than living in the center. We stayed at the hotel Sommerhotel Wieden. It was convenient to get to it from there. Train Station Wien Hauptbahnhof was 5 minutes on foot.

By the way, you can also find very good deals in the center. Mostly they are from “private traders” - people running their own micro-businesses. As a rule, this is not a hotel, but a room in a local resident’s apartment or a separate room in a house.

There are such offers on the service AirBnb, which we have been using often lately and have not yet encountered any drawbacks. We find options cheaper than hotels. For example, in Vienna there are offers for 35-40 € for an apartment with a full kitchen. Agree this is better than a hotel room. The amount of accommodation is divided into two - this is also profitable. You don’t have to change your daily routine (to be on time for breakfast). And we buy food in the store, and for breakfast we eat the same fruits, scrambled eggs, coffee, cheese, only much cheaper than at the hotel. Having your own kitchen is a convenient solution for people with stomach diseases and digestive disorders - you can eat familiar food, carefully adding something new to your diet.

Friends, we are now on Telegram: our channel about Europe, our channel about Asia. Welcome)

How much does food cost

If you are in Austria, be sure to try the national cuisine. And this is a huge selection of pies - the most famous apple pie Strudel, delicious types of stewed meat and fish, potato casseroles, dumplings and much more. We especially recommend trying the famous Wiener Schnitzel. For drinks, we recommend trying Austrian wines - there are a lot of them in the country and they are varied in taste.

Austrian coffee shops. In our opinion, they are a must-see. Drinking one of the 30 types of coffee with Viennese strudel is not to be missed.

Try all these delights national cuisine the restaurant will not be cheap for Russian tourist to date. The euro is not getting cheaper, unfortunately.

The portion in a restaurant is usually large (not like in Moscow), they serve, as they say, “from the heart,” so you can take one main course for two. If we took 2 servings out of greed, we asked to take it with us. This is fine. Anything you can’t handle will be neatly put in a plastic bag.

As an example, I consider the cost of dinner for two in a restaurant:

• Side dish: potato salad – 5-6 €. They bring a large dish. You can absolutely calmly ask for another clean plate and utensils to be brought to you so that you can divide one large portion into two plates.
• Main course: Wiener schnitzel – 12-15 € (as I wrote above, you can take a portion for two).
• Dessert: strudel – 5 €.
• Coffee 5-7 €.
• Austrian wine - 2-3 € per glass of 150 ml, champagne is more expensive - about 4.5 €.

The result is 36 € for two. But it seems to me that Alla and I would not be able to cope with all this in one dinner. Usually they took less. It came out to about 20-25 € for two.

We didn't go to restaurants every day. We usually had breakfast at the hotel, and for lunch we snacked on a burger or Vienna sausages on the street. It came out to about 5 €.

In Graz we rented a room in an apartment. We had a kitchen. We went to the store and bought groceries there. It turned out, of course, much cheaper than restaurant prices.

Stores in Austria are open from 9.00 to 18.00 (18.30). On Saturdays, stores close an hour earlier.

Important: On Sunday, grocery stores are usually closed. Therefore, take care of breakfast in the evening or go to the station.

At the stations, shops are open daily from 7 to 22:30.

How much do excursions cost?

Combination tickets are popular in Austria. With this ticket you can see several attractions at once. For example, on the territory of Schönbrunn Palace there are about 12 attractions. At the box office you can purchase a ticket for each of them, or a combined one. The second option is usually cheaper.

Examples of prices for attractions:

Vienna Zoo– 20 euros
Amusement park Prater – 7 euros
Combined ticket to Belvedere (lower and upper, Winter Palace, greenhouse, 21 houses) – 31 euros
Mozart's House in Vienna - 10 euros
in Graz – 11.50 euros. Buy a day ticket to the Joanneum Museum for 13 euros. It gives you the right to visit all parts of the museum within 24 hours
Hohenwerfen Castle – 11 euros.

If you want to get to know Austria better and learn its history, we recommend taking unusual excursions from local residents.

Better yet, buy a Vienna Card. This is a travel card and a discount card at the same time. Invented specifically for tourists. You can use it to buy entry tickets to a museum, castle, and other attractions at a discount. Plus enjoy public transport for free.

Detailed budget for our trip

We were in Austria for 8 days. This country was only part of our trip to Europe. During the 27 days of the trip we visited 4 countries: Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein. A detailed budget report is written in .

Budget for a trip to Austria for two (all prices are for two):

Vienna – (3 nights) = 138 €
Graz – (2 nights) = 68 €
Salzburg – (3 nights) = 165 €

Tickets were purchased through the Austrian railway website in advance (3-3.5 weeks in advance), so they were eligible for discounts and promotions. On the day of the trip they already cost 2 times more.

Vienna – Graz = 28 €
Graz – Salzburg= 38 €
Salzburg – Zurich= 158 €

Bought in Vienna and Salzburg tourist map cities for 3 days. In Vienna Vienna Card 20 €, in Salzburg Zalzburg Card 31 €. With these cards when visiting museums, etc. The savings were considerable. In Vienna one and a half times, in Salzburg 2 times.

Total: for two people for 8 days including everything except trains booked and purchased in advance (accommodation, food, maps, etc.) it came out to 708.23 €. 708.23 € + trains 224 € = 932 €.

Those. per person - 466 €.

Conclusions:

1. Traveling to Austria is quite expensive
2. The “average rate of accommodation” per day corresponds to the visa requirements (50 – 65 euros per day).
3. We walked around the cities all day and saw quite a lot of sights, ate reasonably (we didn’t skimp on food, we didn’t dine in expensive restaurants).
4. If you are focused on walking around the city (without sightseeing), then the trip will be cheaper.
5. If you are not planning on moving to different cities, you will deduct the cost of train expenses from our final cost amount.

Sincerely,

Almost everyone loves to spend the summer on the seaside. But, unfortunately, such a vacation is not suitable for every child. Many parents are afraid to take their children to the sea. Radical climate change and long journeys can negatively affect a child’s well-being. There are also cases when holidays in hot climates are contraindicated for health. But what to do, where to go on vacation in the summer with a child?

An alternative to the sea coast will be the lakes of Austria. There are more than a thousand reservoirs in the country. Find out everything about holidays in Austria on the lakes with children in 2020 and plan a great trip!

A trip to the picturesque lakes of this country will not be cheap in any case. Offers from guides and travel agencies are quite expensive. Thus, a week-long tour to the lakes of Carinthia (transport, accommodation, breakfasts and excursions) can cost one person about 900 euros. It is quite possible to plan a trip to Austria on your own - you will have to put in more effort, but you will create your holiday yourself down to the smallest detail.

When choosing a resort, you need to consider the cost of your vacation. Travel costs will cost about 150 euros. It all depends on the chosen mode of transport and the distance of the route. As for accommodation, on average you will have to pay 50 euros per night for a double room. Meals per person per day will cost about 20 euros. However, the high cost of such a trip will more than pay off, because Austria can offer both a relaxing, active and educational holiday.

Some popular resorts on the lakes of Austria

Lakes in Carinthia

Particularly popular for family vacation enjoys the south of Carinthia. This region has a mild climate. There are a large number of lakes with ideal clean water, some even insist that you can drink it. All lakes are suitable for swimming children, as in summer time water can warm up to 28 degrees. The region is also ideal for those who like to sunbathe, but at the same time avoid hot climates - average temperature air temperature in summer is approximately 25 degrees Celsius, but even 30-degree heat is well tolerated.

How to get to Carinthia and what is good about it?

You can get to the lakes of Carinthia either by your own car or by another ground transport. This way, you can easily go on a trip with the whole family. If you wish, you can use air transport services: for this you should take tickets to the city of Klagenfurt (the administrative center of Carinthia), most likely you will need a transfer in Vienna. The cost of one ticket to Klagenfurt in the summer of 2020 is approximately 17 thousand rubles. In this city you can rent a car or go to the lakes by public transport.

The infrastructure of the Carinthia region is well suited for a good holiday. There are resort towns and hotels on the shores of the lakes. At the same time, the service in hotel establishments is almost always excellent: tourists are provided with comfort, excellent communications, good breakfasts, friendly and always ready to help staff. In addition to lakes, Carinthia has many interesting places. So, you can go on an excursion to the castle, host knightly tournaments, ride bicycles or walk along mountain trails.

Wörthersee

The jewel of the region, Wörthersee, is the most big lake Austria. It is located just 4 kilometers from Klagenfurt, so the lake can be easily reached by taxi.

The water in the lake is warm; on sunny summer days it can warm up to 27 degrees.

Near the lake there are such resorts as Velden, Krumpendorf, Pertschach.

Where to stay on the banks of the Wörthersee? In the listed populated areas there are hotels, guest houses, boarding houses, apartments. I must say that the resort is quite respectable and the most popular in the country, and therefore the cost of living is very high. Thus, a three-star hotel located a couple of kilometers from the lake will cost a family of three about 7 thousand rubles per day. Accommodation in guest house right on the shore of the lake will take about 11 thousand rubles a day from the family budget.

There are beaches and various sports grounds on the banks of the Wörthersee. Swimming areas, as a rule, are piers or lawns, where sun loungers and umbrellas are located, and there is an entrance to the water. Volleyball courts, Treadmills and much more create all the conditions for a good rest for all family members. You can also enjoy water activities: skiing or banana boating, taking a leisurely boat trip or windsurfing, as well as fishing.

If you are tired of sunbathing, swimming and playing sports, you should go to Klagenfurt. The Old Town area is considered one of the most beautiful in Austria: go to the town hall building, visit the central square and enjoy the spray from the fountain, admire the ancient Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul. Those who love fairy tales (both adults and children) should definitely visit Zygguln Castle, whose history dates back to the 16th century.

From simpler, but interesting places for children:

• Minimundus Miniature Park, which houses more than 150 miniature copies of world landmarks.
• Teenagers will definitely enjoy the planetarium of the Astronomical Union of Carinthia.
• If you have time and opportunity, take your family and children to the Gurktal Gnome Park, located a few tens of kilometers from the lake. A children's railway, figurines of representatives of the little people and the opportunity to make a souvenir for yourself - all this awaits visitors to the park.

Klopeinersee

The lake is the warmest among all in the region: the water heats up to 28 degrees. It is located 30 kilometers from Klagenfurt and can be easily reached by train.

The main local resorts - Klopein, Seelach, Unterburg - have a large number of hotel establishments. A three-star hotel, built a 6-minute walk from the beach, will cost a family of three about 7 thousand rubles per day. Do you have the funds? You can stay in a luxury golf hotel with two swimming pools, a spa area, many courts and a golf course for about 12 thousand rubles per night.

The beaches at the resort are similar to Wörthersee, but in the north of the lake, near the town of Klopein, there are special coves for swimming for the youngest tourists. The lake is suitable for those who love active recreation: in the surrounding area there are many routes for walking and cycling, surfing and diving schools, and fishing equipment rentals. Children will appreciate horseback riding, a popular activity at the resort.

If you want to appreciate the natural beauty of Austria, but the lake is not enough, book an excursion to Wildenstein Falls. This 54-meter giant is located at the top of a steep serpentine, so only prepared tourists can get there, but those who get there will definitely enjoy the beauty of the seething stream.

The resort itself is family-oriented, so it has many children's playgrounds and experienced animators.

However, from the Klopeinersee resorts you can easily reach the children's amusement parks listed in the previous section.

Kitchen and shopping

In catering establishments you can taste mainly Austrian cuisine, but due to the proximity of reservoirs, the emphasis is on dishes from river and lake fish. Farmer's cheeses and krapfen dumplings are also popular in the region. For desserts, you should enjoy strudel, and for drinks, try cider and schnapps.

In the towns of Carinthia there are both large shopping centers, and many souvenir shops. If everything is clear with high-quality clothing and equipment in Europe, then what should you bring as a reminder of your vacation in Austria? This could be things like:

• wood crafts;
• National costumes;
• souvenir related to Mozart;
• alcoholic drinks.

Lakes of Salzkammergut

Another resort region of Austria is Salzkammergut. This mountainous area is rich in lakes - there are about 75 of them - and is also popular among tourists. The mild climate makes vacation comfortable, and the abundance of attractions in the towns makes it also interesting.

How to get to Salzkammergut and what is interesting in the region?

The closest airport to this region is Salzburg Air Gate. If you cannot travel to Austria by car, it would be optimal to take a ticket to this city - traveling by plane in the summer of 2020 will cost about 10 thousand rubles. Then you can go to the resort by car, train, or regular bus.

The resort's infrastructure is adapted to the needs of a wide range of tourists: there are many camping sites, but also standard hotel establishments. In addition, a wide variety of entertainment is possible - from relaxing in the spa complex to renting sports equipment, from visiting natural beauty to walking through small villages.

Wolfgangsee

There are also luxurious options: accommodation on the lake shore in a luxury hotel with a spa center, swimming pool, and restaurants will take about 19 thousand rubles a day from the family budget.

The beaches on the lake are mostly grassy areas with wooden piers. Many hotels have small pools, because the lake is not as warm as the lakes of Carinthia, and on cold days you can still not deprive yourself of the joys of swimming.

Activities such as playing tennis, fishing, horseback riding are very popular; operetta, jazz, and folk music festivals are often held in the region.

While relaxing on the lake, you should go to the town of St. Wolfgang. Be sure to visit main cathedral, where, which is very unusual for Catholic churches, there are two ancient altars, go to the Pilgrim Fountain, stroll through the small charming streets.

Well, kids will appreciate a trip to the local Doll Museum, where they can admire three hundred cute exhibits. In addition, the resort has many playgrounds for children.

Mondsee

The lake is located 25 kilometers from Salzburg and is suitable for families with children due to the fact that the water in it warms up to as much as 26 degrees during the high season. The region is very popular among the Austrians themselves, but there is no influx of noisy compatriots here.
