Hotel Bristol, Vienna

There are five main train stations in Prague. It was a bit difficult finding the right station to buy our tickets, and figuring out which stations the trains departed from! The Metro was not quite as organized or nice as the Spanish, German or French mass transits systems we have used in the past.

We ended up taking the high-speed train from Prague to Vienna. The trip took only four hours and we were able to get on Tram D, which took us straight into the Vienna city center, dropping us off right in front of the Hotel Bristol where we are staying these next 5 nights. To give you an idea of the kind of hotel we're staying in, the rack rate for our room is over $1,000 Euros a night! Our price... free. Those Starwood points are really coming in handy!

Here's some pics of the area near our hotel, which is based in the heart of the city center...
