I went to Vienna for the first time. These 4 mistakes drained my energy and bank account.

During my 48-hour stay in Vienna, I made mistakes that cost me time, money, and sleep. It started with an overnight train ride.

My first trip to Vienna ended up being a costly and exhausting experience due to a few simple mistakes. I started with the wrong train, booking a seat in a cabin on an overnight train that ended up costing me $200 more than the ticket price. This left me too tired to explore the city properly when I finally arrived. I then booked an Airstream trailer at a boutique hotel, only to find it noisy and exposed to the street.

Finally, I tried to see too much in such a short time, missing out on the chance to explore the city's amazing palaces and museums in depth. Next time, I'll choose a different train, stay in a more conventional hotel, and plan my sightseeing more thoughtfully.
