However, they did not provide me with the original receipt as required to get the tax refund. I had my tax refund reversed. I contacted the store hoping to quickly get the issue resolved. I told them I needed the original receipt per Austrian rules and they refused to provide it so I did not get the refund promised. This was the only store out of several other where the incorrect receipt was provided. Also, when I made my purchase they automatically converted the money to USD at 3.5% fee without asking me and my bank card would have done it without a charge. Other places I shopped at had provided me an option. Given the lack of support I received I would not recommend this place.

We visited three other luggage stores while walking around old town and new town. We found Lederhaus to have the best selection of both hard case and wheely duffle bags.

For this trip, I packed a travel sized can of hairspray that had been used in prior trips, and I wasn't sure how much was left. As luck would have it, my canister was running low. We tried to find a store in Regensburg, but unfortunately stores are closed on Sunday. While strolling around Passau, we spotted a Müller, a drugstore which has pretty much everything from fragrance, personal hygiene products, children stuff, pet food, candies, and personal accessories like hair products. I located the aisle that had hairspray . Even better, I found a travel size one and, even more better, it was on sale! Badda-Bing! So, fellow travelers, this proves you don't have to pack the kitchen sink. Of course if you're staying in a tourist resort, prices will cost more. If you go where the locals go, prices for everyday items are not any higher than at home.
