Where it is more convenient and cheaper to settle in Vienna

Of course, it is most convenient in Vienna live in the 1st district (within the so-called Viennese ring - it can be clearly seen on any map of the city), but this is really not cheap. Hotels from the 2nd to the 9th district are cheaper, but not much (these are the areas that adjoin the ring "outside"). At the same time, the center can be reached on foot, or can be reached by several stops by bus, tram or metro.

The most economical let them pay attention to accommodation on the outskirts. For example, in the 20-21-th area. The rooms here are noticeably cheaper, and the concept of "far" here means only "half an hour on the metro." However, before booking the hotel, one should nevertheless look at the map: tour operators often all interpret it in their favor.

Accommodation options

Of course, the cost of accommodation depends on the type of hotel chosen. Even small one-star guesthouses in Vienna will cost guests at least € 40-50 for two, while the room most likely will not have a shower and toilet. A room for two in a two-star hotel or guesthouse (which, in general, is the same) in the city center, with a shower and included in payment for breakfast, will cost € 60- € 150 depending on the season and district of Vienna.

Indeed, the city has a lot of expensive hotels, where a double room costs at least € 250, and the upper limit of the cost in them simply does not exist. However, these are prices during the high season from April to October and during the Christmas holidays, at other times the cost of accommodation is somewhat reduced.

More or less cheap accommodation in Vienna is of three types: student hostels, hostels, private apartments. So a day of accommodation in a youth hostel will cost an average of € 15 per person.

Hostels will cost even less - within € 11-15. They are located mainly around the railway stations: Westbahnhof and South (Südbahnhof). For holders of an international ISIC card, the discount for accommodation will be € 2, 90. You can buy it on the spot, or take care of purchasing at a discount in Moscow.

If you prefer private apartments, you can pick up a cost of up to € 22 per night per person - subject to an armor of not less than 3 nights
