Wonderland on Points | Credit Card Rewards & Budget Travel 183. Can You Really Do Europe in a Weekend? Our Vienna Trip, Park Hyatt Stay & Hallstatt Day Trip
Can you really experience Europe in just a weekend? We put it to the test with a whirlwind trip to Vienna, Austria — sharing how we maximized our time, navigated travel logistics, and made the most of a short international getaway.
In this episode of Wonderland on Points, we talk through flying direct, using Vienna’s easy public transportation system, and what it was like staying at the Park Hyatt Vienna. We also share honest insights on dining in Vienna, from affordable local eats to memorable splurges, along with cultural tips like cash-friendly businesses and Sunday closures.
We dive into why walking tours are one of our favorite ways to quickly learn a city and share what you need to know to plan a smart day trip to Hallstatt, including how to manage crowds and timing. If you’ve been dreaming of squeezing a European adventure into a long weekend, this episode offers practical travel tips, smart planning strategies, and plenty of inspiration to make it happen.
