Just thought I'd post for anyone interested in going or if anyone who has attened in previous years could offer some feedback?

Thanks!

Wow--sounds like (hectic) fun! Although the info books are only in German, I downloaded three of them as good general guides to the museums in Vienna, Salzburg and Graz.

Thanks for posting!

These long nights now become a regular thing.
Last week was the Long Night of Music.Same price and format with a bus between various venues until 1 AM. Bus can get crowded. In some cases easier to walk as many places are close to each other.

More than 50,000 attended .

A fun evening - inexpensive way to view things- the people usually very friendly-

Yah, I had read about the Long Night of Music as well. What city did you attend it in? I'll be in Salzburg for the Museum one.

My prior post refers to Vienna.
