Personal comments

I was really surprised that trains and busses were so expensive. It is better to have your own car with you if you have one. For example, we made a trip to Graz, 5 people by car - it was only 10 euros per person. By train it would have been 65 euros...

Personal comments

actually you have not got a choice, you have to accept this kind of accomodation, because Eisenstadt is a small town, where you can find some another accomodation very hardly.

Final comments

As I have said I liked my stay very much!!! If you come from CZ or SK, there are cheap bus connections, it's easy to get there. There are not many internationals, only about 20-30 but also from countries like Croatia, Romania... nice people:-) Ausrians are also very nice, bit you will have to make the first step to get closer.

Eisenstadt is realy small town, by students called "pampa", if you like big cities, don´t go there!

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
