You queue, you get a rail to lean on, and you see the same production as the people who paid \u20ac200. Bring a scarf to mark your spot, which is the local custom.\r\nHow many days do you need? | Four. Two is enough for the Ring, the cathedral and one palace; four lets you add the Kunsthistorisches, Sch\u00f6nbrunn properly, a heuriger evening and a day trip.\r\nIs Vienna expensive? | Mid-range, and cheaper than its reputation.

Inspectors are plain-clothed and frequent, the fine is \u20ac135, and it is the single most common way visitors lose money here.\r\nAre the men in wigs selling real concert tickets? | They are selling real tickets to tourist-grade performances in hired halls, at \u20ac40 to \u20ac60. If you want a serious concert, buy from the Musikverein, the Konzerthaus or the opera directly.\r\nWhat is a heuriger? | A wine tavern on the edge of the city where growers serve their own new wine with cold food, in Grinzing, Nussdorf and Neustift. It is the most Viennese evening available and reachable by tram.\r\nWhen should I visit? | May, September or October. December has the Christmas markets and January and February the ball season, both of which are worth planning around if they appeal.
