---- European Bus Passes ----
A Eurail or Interrail pass is often the first thought when it comes to getting around Europe with a travel pass. While a bus pass may not get you to as many places as the train, it's a far more economical option and thus a worthy consideration with the current value of the Euro.

---- Fancamp Vienna 2008 ----
Euro 2008 Austria-Switzerland kicks off on June 7. While our English friends could care less this year (England failed to qualify), it's a good time to be visiting Europe as there is always a party atmosphere on game days.
If you are planning a last minute trip to Vienna, accommodation will be hard to find. Fancamp Vienna has been set up to accommodate the influx of visitors expected.
There are 3000 beds available in Vienna at "an excellent price".
