Quite like the idea of a day trip to Vienna as well - will I be able to visit with just my UK passport?

I know you guys came last in the Eurovision song contest, but honestly, you're not that hated.

I went to Vienna a few weeks back. The main trip was to Bratislava(Slovakia) with Ryanair which cost 42 quid return from Stanstead. Both cities are well worth a visit with loads of historic architecture and Vienna is only about 50km from Bratislava for only approx 7.5 Euros return by train. There is also a ship that runs down the Danube between the two cities which takes about 2 hours.

I'm going to Bratislava next week for the w/end.

Any tips on what to see.

Right I can achieve the same rate in the UK as I can in Vienna, what do you go for?

Food is cheaper as is eating out however decent accommodation is not far off different.

What to do...

I've spent new years twice now in St Marcs square, Italians party with style and risk with minimum control... none of your health and safety nonsense. Firecrackers let off in one hand a glass of champers in the other...

Right where do I live, anyone have a good rental sites?

Bratislava. Seriously - it's about an hour's drive or you can go on the train, again about an hour.

Houses are considerably cheaper.

Shame about the people, though

I've been to Wien four times, and I saw ........the airport

BTW, anyone know what those two enormous buildings near to the airport are?
They look like normal detached houses, only scaled up about ten times....

There was an awful lot of building going on around the airport in 2007.

I flew BA from Manchester and Berlin Air from Belfast/Stanstead.

Not quite too sure where the airport is as I drove there but I did stay in the World Trade Center, which was a shock. Thats a large building area which could be it...
