First Time in Austria – Itinerary Suggestions Needed!
 

Hi everyone,
I’m planning a 7-day trip to Austria this fall and it will be my first time visiting. I’m flying into Vienna and thinking of visiting Salzburg and Hallstatt as well.

I would love your suggestions on:

• Must-see places in each city
  
• Best way to travel between cities (train, bus, or rental car?)
  
• Budget-friendly accommodation options
  
• Any hidden gems or local experiences I shouldn’t miss
  
• Food recommendations — what local dishes should I try?
  

I enjoy a mix of history
