I am leaning towards Budapest and wanted to hear what you guys say, I feel that Vienna needs more time to explore.

I agree. 3 days is ideal but still enough fun stuff to do within a day as well.

That's the thing I have no idea when I will be back in the area, so I keep thinking should I take off a little from my day and half to see Vienna a bit. Maybe if I have a list of must do's as a first timer it might be easier to decide if I should go for it or not. Thanks guys.

I am looking for direct flights from the US to Vienna, and it looks like there are not many. So far I've found direct from ORD (by Austrian Airlines), from IAD (Austrian), JFK and EWR (Austrian). Any other airlines fly to Vienna directly from the US?

Thanks to Vacation Lover for the great photos -- VIE looks beautiful -- and to everyone for all the info. Definitely bumping VIE up on our bucket list.   I have a clarifying question: several posters have cited "shopping" as an attraction. Is this clothing? Musical instruments? Judaica? Something else?

Kaertner Strasse, Mariahilfer Strasse, Der Ring are some of the beautiful streets that are in the inner city with great stores (clothing, etc), cafes and old buildings that make it lots of fun to stroll around in.

Sounds great. So "window shopping", not that you necessarily are going there with a purchase in mind (like you might do at mahane Yehuda or Hong Kong for suits etc). Thanks.

Ainhorn is the name of the butcher place and Berel is a great guy (butcher) and his SIL who runs the take out is lots of fun.

Simchas is pretty good and Alef Alef also has good fleishig food (most people go there for Shabbes meals if they have nothing else set up).

They have a few newer places but haven't been yet.
Berel, best gabbai i ever saw, a gishmaker yid.
