When to Go

When to Go

The weather usually turns glorious around Easter to mark the start of the summer season and holds until about mid-October, often later. May and early June, September, and October are the most pleasant months for travel; there is less demand for restaurant tables, and hotel prices tend to be lower.

A foreign invasion takes place between Christmas and New Year's Day, at which time many Viennese are already on the slopes of western Austria, as well as and over the long Easter weekend. Crowds swarm during July and August, when the main festivals are held.
