hi!
vienna isnt't that expensive if you compare it with london, rome or paris.
here are some average prices:
entrance fee spanische hofreitschule: from â‚¬ 22,00 to â‚¬ 110,- (see www.srs.at - reserve your place in advance to be sure to get one!)
there is a "vienna card" which costs â‚¬ 18,50 a 3 day ticket for public transport is included and you get reductions on entrance fees in museums, cafÃ©s, etc. (look at http://www.wien.info/article.asp?IDArticle=9400)
you can buy the vienna card online (there you find also information about the price for public transport): http://shop.wienerlinien.at/en/

if you look for general information what to see or on hotels etc. look at www.vienna.info - there you also can find information about restaurants, bars, etc. (http://www.vienna.info/article.asp?IDArticle=10068)

as regards snacks you get cheap sandwiches at bakeries like Anker, StrÃ¶ck or Felber, but you can also go to supermarkets like Billa, Spar, Merkur, Zielpunkt and buy your snacks there - it isn't expensive at all!

if you have further questions, pleas ask!
greets from vienna, i hope you will enjoy your trip!

Well, if you want to eat in downtown, you have to count with more that 30E per meal + drinks. However, there are a lot of restaurants around downtown that are not too expensive and the food and atmosphere are amazing too. Snacks? There are bakeries where you can get sandwiches for a good price ( ab 2E). You can also buy them at the supermarket (SPAR, ZIELPUNKT). With regard to public transportation, you can buy a day ticket, 5,70E; a 72hr ticket, 13,60E; or a week ticket, 14E. Once, you have one ticket, you can use it for the bus, tram and underground.

The Spanish Riding school has different prices, according to the season and place; ab 22E. You can buy them on line.

Like with any city - you can find cheap places to eat if you do not go to the touristy places - like the "Prater" or the Stefans Platz for example.
Within the tourist areas it is just as expensive as for example: London, Paris, Madrid........

im not really sure...im currently stationed in germany and the euro has went up AGAIN-for instance if you purchase and item for 766 euro youre actually spending $1,200 US dollars
be sure to contact your bank to inform them you are traveling or your account will be frozen.
