Vienna · SALZBURG DAY TRIPS
Three hundred kilometres each way makes this the longest of the standard day trips, and the good ones admit it up front. These 15 are compared on how much time you get in the old town, whether the Salzkammergut lakes are added on the return, and what the driver-guide is worth over a train ticket.

“Overall the trip was good - just need to be prepared for A LOT of time in the car. In total it’s over 7 hours of driving which is quite a bit for one day.
