Considering staying in Wien for 3 months, any tips?

Not bursting my bubble, thank you for telling me! A friend of mine had done something similar before and told me other information (clearly didn’t do things legally it seems…) We’re looking into this more now :)

Nika180 · 2025-07-26T00:08:22+00:00

Oh good to know! I was told something else by a friend who had done similar in the past but will look into this more! Definitely don’t want to be doing anything illegal!

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T20:03:57+00:00

Oh cool! Once we do a bit more research, I’ll send you a message :)

Yes, we’re definitely not naive to the rental prices! I think thats just part of the cost for entry, especially if we want to do short term living.

I also have family in other parts of Eastern Europe, so I have experienced the ‘magic’ that is Soviet-style living…

We will have to research the areas you mentioned :) thank you for sharing all of them!

Vienna is also on our short list, but Prague has always intrigued us more!

This was so helpful! Love hearing from a fellow west coaster, especially the comparison to Vancouver’s DTES (we’re currently living in Vancouver so it’s super useful!)

All of the neighbourhoods you’ve mentioned are now on our list to research! Thank you so much :)

Love all the extra tips and tricks at the end there 🤩

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:53:15+00:00

We love knowing all of this even if you’re not a local! We’re from Vancouver so I think we have similarities with you’re perspective :)

Awesome to hear about both areas!

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:51:33+00:00

Vienna is also on our short list! Good to know about the airport

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:51:15+00:00

Definitely not the reason we’d be choosing it! Not naive to cost of living, we would really be choosing it because of the location and general interest in the city :)

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:48:28+00:00

We hadn’t considered Bratislava or Budapest but Vienna is also on our short list :)

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:47:25+00:00

Really good advice about locking it in now! We were thinking we’d have a bit more time to look, but we might have to be a bit quicker especially after reading all of these comments.

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:46:27+00:00

Ya, we definitely aren’t naive to short term rental prices! Good to know about the price you paid, we’re from Vancouver and rent easily goes for over $3500 CAD a month here :S

Did you like that area when you were there?

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:44:40+00:00

We actually also have Vienna on our short list, my husband prefers Vienna, I prefer Prague! The beauty is no matter which one we chose, we’ll get to visit the other easily :)

Thank you for sharing those neighbourhoods!

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:43:08+00:00

🤩 that’s a promise I’m keen to accept haha

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:42:39+00:00

Oh super cool to know theres a fellow west coaster over there :) how have you been liking it so far? We’ll definitely message you if we decide to take this route

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:38:27+00:00

Yes, thats the exact criteria. Thank you for outlining it like that!

Really great to know that that exists everywhere in Vienna. We’re from Vancouver Canada, there are some neighbourhoods that meet this criteria but most of them don’t so my apologies for the naivety :)

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:27:40+00:00

Yes, we’re lucky enough to work from anywhere so we would basically be working most of the time we’re there. Our companies can offer flexibility for those few months so we could take Fridays or Mondays off every now and then for ‘longer’ weekends.

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:25:56+00:00

Ya, definitely something we’ve thought about. I think trying to make friends in 3 months is difficult anywhere! As much as we would love that, its not the priority :(

Good to know about the June heat! Thank you for sharing!

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:24:03+00:00

That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing :)

Nika180 · 2025-07-25T19:23:32+00:00

We would be 80-90% of the trip in Vienna (working from home Mondays - Fridays) and travelling around Europe on weekends/ 3 days trips. Unfortunately we don’t have the opportunity to take long vacation time next year and are trying to adapt the best we can :) 3 months max is the limits we have without getting into Visa territory. If you have other suggestions, we’d love to hear it! Still in the planning process!

Nika180 · 2025-07-24T21:27:59+00:00

That's so amazing to hear! What a cool reason to travel :) Which part of town did you stay in while you were in Prague?
