Planning a driving trip, can you give suggestions for a day trip Salzburg to Vienna ? Places to stop along the way,.We are staying over 2 nights in Vienna, then again driving to Budapest in a day, staying on the Buda side.

If you like to stay on the direct route, I'd also suggest the Wachau valley.
Take motorway A1 east to Melk (Monastery!). Follow highway 3 along the Danube via Dürnstein to Krems. Motorways S5/A22 from Krems to Vienna.
If you wanted to add some real mountains (without actual mountain driving), you could take a more Southern route:
Motorway A10 to St. Michael im Lungau (extra toll for Tauern tunnel). Highway 96 east till you hit highway 317, which becomes S36/S6/A2 to Vienna.
There are many Southern routes which cut through the many valleys and offer great vistas of the "real mountains", but also options to drive across the mountains.. so if you prefered a "mountain route", this could be scaled from "quick/ mostly motorways" to "all day, via pass roads and scenic by-ways".
