The Mozart chocolate balls branded Mirabell are definitely better than the ones sold at Manner , though they look the same, but it is the taste that ultimately matters.
Suggest Manner shop for buying for gifting purposes, but if you want the best buy the ones labelled “Mirabell” at Sconbrunn or Dutyfree shops at the airport.

Hi Kee – yes thats correct, you can validate anyway you want as long as you validate. When in doubt, you can always check with the friendly station staff – most speak good English

Hi,
Me and my husband are planning a trip to Eastern Europe and thanks for your blog, it provides me with lots of information and details.
I ‘m still have no idea how to validate the 8 days ticket in Vienna. There are 8 strips numbered asending so each one of us take turn to validate the ticket from the bottom whenever we enter the mean of transports?

Thanks

Hi Ting – the 8-day ticket doesn’t mean it has to be used within 8 days – it has 8 strips – one validated strip can be used for a day and it can be shared with your travel companions. e.g. if you are travelling with 7 friends, your group could validate all the strips and use it for travelling around Vienna for a day.

There are lesser day tickets e.g. one-day pass available too.

@Fabio – we havent taken this route before – however for an overnight train, its good to take at least second class or private couchette.

I’m not a chocolate lover but I find these Mozart chocolates nice and taste different from the other chocolates which are usually too sweet. I’ve bought some back for my family and friends and they all love the chocolates. I would say it is a MUST buy chocolates/souvenirs when in Vienna.
