I have a week of holiday from work at the end of May 2007 and I intend to travel to Vienna. Can anyone advise as to whether an entire week in Vienna would be too long? If so, I am thinking about doing a combination of Vienna and Munich. Can anyone advise how much a train would cost between them and the best route to take?
Vielen Dank im Voraus.

If you have interests in art, museums, and/or classical music, I think you%26#39;ll find tons to do in a week in Vienna. If you prefer other things when you travel, you may find the time hangs quite heavy on your hands. It really depends what you want to do.
You could go to Munich as well; there are direct train connections (I think taking about 5.5 hrs; not sure about the price but you could check on www.bahn.de for times and prices; I%26#39;d expect it to cost about 80 euros one way though maybe I overestimate). Munich strikes me as a kind of boring version of Vienna however (you can tell I%26#39;m partisan) with less good museums, art, and music and no Riding School :)
May is a lovely time to go, too, and it%26#39;s usually just enjoying the first flush of summer warmth then, with the ice cream parlours reopening and everyone cheery with the prospect of good weather. There are possibilities for day trips from Vienna which might be a way of working some variety into your holiday - like the visit to Melk/Krems with a trip on the Danube, or a daytrip to Bratislava in Slovakia.
Vienna rewards concentration; if you have a longer time then you can really get to know something of the city instead of just rushing between the main tourist spots. I like to have time for extensive sitting in cafes, reading, eating, thinking ... Vienna is perfect for that!

Much to do in Vienna for a week stay..
tourist website
www.info.wien.at
will provide much information for you.
Visits to Palaces, Museums, Parks, sidewalk cafes.
Much culture - with concerts , opera, theater etc.
Music from rock to jazz to Opera.
Fine Arts Museum, Museum Quarter ,Liechenstein Museum- some of the best collections in the world.
Shopping- antiques, clothing etc.
Many opportunites for day trips
example - a trip to Melk Abbey combined with a trip to the Danube River. A full day.
A day trip to wine country and visits to wineries.
A day in Bratislava 1 hour by train- 70 minutes by boat on the Danube.
Budapest- 2 hours by train and a nice full day of sightseeing.
Perhaps something for everyone.
