tips for vienna

Hello dear friends, it's been a while since I visited this site.

I will visit Vienna early next mounth. Can someone advise about a local SIM CARD? Where to buy (in the airport?) and what are price rangers (internet only, no calls).

I'd like to know about a nice spa (except the one in the Therme in Oberlaa).

Also, do you know any music stores (for classical music)? There is one in the Graben but are there any other? What about second-hand music stores?

Thanks in advance.

For SIM cards, there is a mobile store named Drei (meaning "3") in the old town just opposite St. Stephan's Cathedral.

A 10GB data SIM registered and installed for you costs 15 Euro.
Another version, 4GB of data + x number of text + y number of calling time, also costs 15 Euro.

Drei has many locations in Vienna. Maybe choose one that is close to where you'll be on the first day?

Re spas, you can get a day pass to the Arany Spa in the Park Hyatt Hotel: https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/spas/Arany-Spa/about

Why do you need a SIM card just to use the internet? Can't you just use Wifi,you don't need any calling plan to do that, I do it all the time in Europe and don't have any local SIM card or international calling plan.

If you don't know about it already the House of Music museum in Vienna is wonderful. The staff there might have recommendations for music stores or you might email them in advance. https://www.hausdermusik.com/en/ or Email: [email protected]EE-mail: [email protected]-mail: [email protected]

85 euros doesn't seem that exorbitant for a full day's access ( 7 am to 9 pm) to a luxury spa with indoor pool, etc., in a 5-star hotel in the heart of Vienna. What is your budget?

I'm looking for a massage around 60-70 EUR. The 85 EUR pass doesn't include a massage.

Hi! I would advise you to install the Orange Flex application on your phone in a more convenient and modern way. This is an electronic SIM card that you can pay for online and use throughout Europe. There are cheap tariffs for unlimited Internet and there is the possibility of calls within the country and throughout Europe. It cost 5
