Breakfast at Novelino. Walk to the historic district and through the shopping area. See and visit Hofburg Palace and related buildings, walk back to old Jewish area and have dinner at Aleph Aleph and grab non-stop bus back to airport.

Read the tread, thanks all.
1) Does anyone have a recommended tour guide for a Jewish tour in Vienna?

2) Aside from the Chasam Sofer, are there k'vrei tzadikim in the area? I recall hearing in Vienna there were several Rebbes buried there, anyone know about this?

3) Most fun part of your trip was.....

4) Name of the shul/s that are physically impressive and have orthodox minyanim?

If I have a 5.5 hour stopover on the way from NYC to TLV.

Would that be enough time to check out the Jewish neighborhood? (travelling with a spouse and 3 teenage kids. Have some ancestors who lived there)

Is there a guide, someone could recommend, who could pick us up from the airport?

Should be enough for somethings. Motti Hammer from the wiki is very good.

For Italy, Do I need International Driving Permit (IDP), or A U.S. driver's license is enough?
