Honeymoon advice (Vienna - Zell Am See - Munich - Paris)

Hello,

i need your help !

I am actually planning my honeymoon on june, my husband made the reservations for this route:

Doha - Vienna (4 days) - Zell Am See (4 d.) - Munich (4 d.) - Paris (5 d.) - Doha

we have 17 days in total.

I am wondering if this doesn%26#39;t sound as crazy as i feel! it%26#39;s a long distance from my home town (Doha) to Vienna - flying for approx. 6 hours.

What do you think about the route?

What would you recommend for transportation from Vienna to Zell Am See? from Zell Am See to Munich? and from Munich to Paris? And how long would it take from one place to another?

Thanks!!

I don%26#39;t regard 6 hours on an airplane as crazy. The world is that large - you cannot only stick to neighboring destinations of Qatar.

Your itinerary sounds basically great, but I miss the city of Salzburg therein. All the mentioned places have perfect railway access.

Austrian Railway Operator ÖBB Itinerary planer:

There is a direct train (OIC 542|dep. 06:40a) in the morning - all others require a transfer in the city of Salzburg. The appropriate railway station in Vienna is Railway Station Vienna-West. But in my opinion you should stop in Salzburg in order to tour this great city which was the birthplace of W.A. Mozart making the transfer issue obsolete. If you planned to visit Salzburg from Zell am See (what wouldn%26#39;t be efficient though feasible) or did not even think about, you could contemplate another train route which runs more Southerly through much more mountainous regions. You would have to depart from Railway Station Vienna-SOUTH and transfer in Leoben. In the end it would not even take decisively longer, but unfortunately you could only rely on two train pairs.

Thanks for the great tips.

i thought of Salzburg but it was too late to fit it within the plan :( The decision was made already to go through these 4 destinations!

I need some tips regarding tranportation from one city to another (bus/car/train/plane)? how long does take?

I already gave you comprehensive advice on transportation from Vienna to Zell am See. I also embedded a link to ÖBB where you can inquire Europe-wide itineraries.

Salzburg can also be easily done from Munich if you are still interested in.

OPPS! I was at work and i only glanced through the part about Salzburg, my bad!

Thank you very much, that helped a lot :)
