Book your train tickets in advance: Due to the extensive Austrian rail network, travelling in the country is convenient and cost effective. Booking your train tickets in advance will ensure they're cheaper and will take a load off your mind. If multiple destinations are on your Austrian itinerary, it may be worth your while to purchase an Interrail pass for Austria!
Tourist Passes: For larger cities in Austria such as Vienna and Salzburg, public transport passes are available. Not only do they give travellers unlimited access to the cities transport network, but also offer a range of additional discounts for museums and cafés to name a few.
Cheap food: Austria can be cheap if you want it to be; not eating at touristy spots is a good place to start. Many hotels and hostels offer breakfast included in the total price, often times providing a continental buffet which, if you take full advantage, can leave you satisfied for a large proportion of the day. Additionally, many restaurants offer midday special meals (usually 3 courses) of extremely high quality.
