Hi, we are planning to make trip to Prague Budapest and Vienna 8 nights 9 days starting from 18th of July (nothing is arranged like air ticket, hotel rooms, Visa, passes etc)
Please help us plan our itinerary such where to go what to see how to and the climate etc.
We are a family with 2 kids ( 15yrs and 10yrs).
We are living Dubai.
OR ADVISE US TO VISIT ONLY ONE COUNTRY Austria ALONE?????

Thank you and kind regards for the great help.

OK - are you going to those three countries -- or Switzerland (from your other thread)?

And if you are from a visa-required country it is very late to be planning this.

The first thing I'd look into is if you can get a visa in a month. Don't book anything until you sort that out and get the requirements.

Visiting all three cities will give you about 2.5 days in each location. That would not be enough for me but it may be enough for you. Read some guide books (available on line) and determine what you want to see and do, then allocate time in each location.

If you stick to one country, i.e, Austria, you can visit Vienna, Salzburg and some of the countryside surrounding Salzburg which may be more ideal with young children. There are a salt mine and ice caves near Salzburg - the kids will probably enjoy those.

Climate - hot and most likely humid.

Hi; For me I would do two countries.

Fly into Prague and out of Vienna.

1. Prague 4 nights [ a bit tired the first day]and train to Vienna.

2. Vienna 4 nights.

I think a ride on the Danube would be fun.

Agree - if you are from a country whose citizens require visas for entry you need to sort that our first before you do anything else.

Being American I have no idea how long it would take someone of your nationality - but it makes no sense to make reservations (or pay anything) until you know you will be admitted.

Actually it has already been suggested to check visa requirements on another thread in April.

Presumably he has done that??

janisj; My mistake-You are right--but he was told in April to look into 'visa's' for the family.

Why he didn't--who knows!!

Thank you so much for your valuable advises, let me try to find the visa formalities first and I may get back here once again.

Thank you so much for the advises and tips.
