When you've seen enough of Vienna and have an extra day or two to spare, hop on a train or a bus and head out to the pristine countryside of Lower Austria where you will enjoy beautiful scenery, marvel at amazing baroque architecture, splurge in well-equipped spas and thermal baths, unwind in cosy cafés and restaurants on cobble-stone streets, and taste the wine from famous century-old wineries of the Wachau Valley. Considering Austria's reliable infrastructure and affordability of bus and train service, you'd have no trouble reaching any of the destinations we recommend here. Schedules can be obtained at the website of Austrian Railways (ÖBB), www.oebb.at. Tickets can be purchased at the railway stations, online, or from the bus driver.
