Hi

In the next couple of months I would like to travel to Romania (preferrably Bucharesti) for about a week. I was wondering if anyone here has ever been and what their thoughts of the place were?

I would also like to travel to either Switzerland or Austria. Anyone been to both and preffered the other? What is the best month to go?

Cheers

i really like austria; innsbruck, zell am see (the drive to Grossglockner from zell is outstanding) and hallstatt are really lovely, salzburg is ok but nothing amazing. we were in austria in june few years back and the first day we arrived in innsbruck it was horrible weather but lovely after that. they were celebrating some sort of festival in innsbruck while we were there, loads of stuff on the street at night, live bands, discos, fire-breathers, jugglers, it was great fun and went on till early morning

haven't seen as much of switzerland, heading to zermatt this summer, we have been told to stay away from zermatt in may as that is the only time of year construction vehicles are allowed enter the area, by mid-may the streets have turned into mud apparently

Don't go to Bucharest! It's by far the worst place I've ever visited. Dirty, polluted, falling apart, cars parked in every tiny space possible, piles of random crap on the streets... it's awful. There are much much nicer places to see in Romania, such as Sighisoara or Brasov.

I've also been to Vienna on a day trip and it was great. I'll be going back there again sometime to see it properly.

i can only comment on vienna- it was nice but for some reason I wouldnt be rushing back there. It was just mising something for me. I think you could find nicer places to visit in my opinion.
