[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn't like Vienna in August.  It was basically a big tourist trap with all the locals out of town.  Actors in Mozart costumes, Sound of Music tour hawkers, and bad schnitzel at tourist traps.  The local restaurants were closed for summer vacation.[/quote]

That was not our experience at all in Vienna in August! We didn’t see a single Mozart costume and there were no tour hawkers. The Sound of Music tour is in Salzberg, so not sure why you would see them in Vienna? Are you confusing Salzberg with Vienna? Mozart is also big in Salzberg.

We used Rick Steves guide for Vienna. For an afternoon snack/dessert one day, we ate at the amazing Cafe Demel. We saw nothing closed at all. We did a self guided walking tour and a horse drawn carriage one day. We went to the Hapsburg palace in the city one day and we went to a palace outside the city on another day with some beautiful gardens. Both were absolutely gorgeous.[/quote]

Same. We spend 1-2 weeks in Vienna every July or August to see family. Everything is open whether it’s touristy or a local spot. [/quote]
