Could you please tell me if the following itenary is sensible?
Austria(6 days)-- to cover Vienna,Salzburg and Innsbruck
Innsbruck to Budapest
Budapest and surrounding areas(5 days)
Budapest to Prague
Prague(3 days)
Prague to Krakow
Krakow(4 days)
back home!
THANK YOU,

To The Grammar Nazis - Give it a rest, please.

Savy4 - I answered your other thread which had the same essential itinerary proposed - see below. Like Palenque, I thank you for making the effort to communicate in my language;

Going from Vienna to Innsbruck, backtracking to Salzburg, then backtracking past Vienna to Budapest does not make good use of time or energy. Do you have to start in Vienna?

The most direct route (with driving times) would probably be;

Budapest - Vienna (2.5 hours) -> Salzburg (3 hours) -> Innsbruck (2 hours) -> Prague (6 hours) -> Krakow (6 hours)

If you leave out Innsbruck, its 5 hours from Salzburg to Prague.

Train times are likely to be a fair bit longer execpt for Budapest - Vienna - Salzburg ,as the Czech and Polish rail systems have fewer fast/direct trains.

Check www.bahn.de

ditto me, Savy - if you don't mind my saying so it gets confusing if you post multiple threads about essentially the same query.

are you now going to amsterdam? how long do you actually have?

regards, ann

Sorry for the confusions.Have been working out various possibilities.Thank you for your inputs Aramis.
So in your opinion it would be good if I started with Budapest,but I do not have convinient flights to land there.I have flights that land in Vienna at a good rate and so am opting to land in Vienna.I will be using public transport and will go for individual country passes(since the east european pass is working out more expensive)So in the light of what I have said,does my itenary make sense?The one change that I could make is go to Innsbruck from Vienna, then come to Salzburg and then go Budapest.(?)
It is a long trip for me and am trying to make a sensible plan.Thank you for all your inputs.

will be using public transport and will go for individual country passes(since the east european pass is working out more expensive)>

Have you checked out the new Central Europe Triangle Pass - cheqper than Eastern europe pass - a triangle pass with two options

1- Vienna-budapest-Prague

2- Vienna-Salzburg-Prague

and then supplement it with individual tickets - not sure if of use but since it is new in 2010 i'd thought i'd throw it into the mix. I have to track down some pricing so i could know if it were a great deal or not
