Hi, I am hoping that someone has some suggestions. We (my husband and I, no kids) are taking a trip this summer and ending up in Lyon. Five days later we have to be in Vienna. Any suggestions as to how to make our way to Vienna? Would like to spend 3 days in one place, as opposed to travelling a bit each day. Anyone know any wonderful spots en route to Vienna? We aren't sure if we will drive or take the train. Any recommendations about that would also be appreciated. Thanks.

I did something like this about 10 years ago but it was Vienna-Paris via the South of France in about 10 days... Here goes: Vienna - Salzburg - Zurich - Munich - Chamonix - Aix-en-Provence - Paris We spent a night or two or three in each city... You could look at the first 4 places I mentioned for stopovers...

Innsbruck is gorgeous. There is lots to see and do but it is also quiet and picturesque. Prices are good especially with the city card which pretty much covers most things. It is also on the way from Lyon to Vienna. We traveled to it by car (from Aachen) and loved it as the scenery is beautiful. It was quite a long drive, but we planned a stop on the way so it was fine for us. You could consider spending a night in Bern (or Thun) which is halfway to Innsbruck. http://www.innsbruck-pauschalen.com/en/ <em>edited by Gentle on 19/05/2014</em>
