When to go



The best times to visit Vienna and the other major cities in Austria are late spring and early autumn, especially the months of May, June, and September.
In mid-summer (July-August), thunderstorms are more intense, and it can be very hot at low altitudes. In cities located in hilly areas (see Salzburg, Innsbruck), it rains more than in Vienna, which in return can be hot and muggy. On the other hand, during this period, the temperatures in high mountains are more pleasant.
In September, forests begin to show the spectacular autumn colors.

Being cold and dull, and sometimes freezing and snowy, winter (December to February) is not the best period to visit cities.

For a ski holiday, we can recall that in February the days are already longer than in December and January. In March and in early April, the days are even longer, and the weather is generally less cold.
On the highest mountains, there are resorts where you can go skiing even in summer.

What to pack



In winter: bring warm clothes, such as a sweater or fleece, a down jacket, a hat, a scarf, gloves, an umbrella. For the mountains, mountain outfit, hiking boots.

In summer: bring light clothes, a T-shirt and shorts, but also long pants, a jacket, and a sweatshirt; a raincoat or umbrella. For the mountains, hiking shoes, sunscreen and sunglasses; for the highest mountains and glaciers, warm clothes, such as a down jacket, a hat.
