Driving to Vienna and watch Orchestra & Opera

Hi,



We are going to rent a car on Oct 26 from Linz to Salzburg.



Oct 26 is a holiday. How is the transportation on that day ? Will any road be closed ? Should we take the train instead?





Then, we will drive the car from Salzburg to Vienna on Oct28. Is there any recommended route we should take ? Anything we need to be careful?





We will be stay in Vienna during Oct 28 - Nov 1.



Is there any highly recommended Orchestra and Opera ? we want to watch both performances.





Is there any Halloween party or event we can join ?





Thanks for any advices you may have.

Look carefully at renting a car. It is not needed in Salzburg or Vienna.



An expensive liability to park.



It is probably only preferred if you wish to see other areas of Austria - example Lake District- Danube Valley.





look to the austrian rail website for train schedule and costs.

Linz- salzburg is not far and on a main rail line.



Vienna- Salzburg about 2 1/2 hours





I



The october 26th like most any day for travel.





If you do decide to drive- obey speed limits- especially in the area near Linz . Normal autobahn speed is 130- in Linz area ( road tax sticker) It probably will but check for it.



In Vienna





The Vienna State Opera





www.staatsoper.at





features Electra with Agnes Baltsa on 10/31.



good tickets still available . you can order on website or phone and pick them up at the Box office.





less formal - the Volksoper





www.volksper.at





For concerts - best place is the Musikverein



www.musikverein.at





the Cleveland Orchestra ( a very good orchestra) has several concerts during your visit.



tickets available - again see the website to purchase.





Halloween is not a big thing in Austria - very little celebrations.
