Best area to stay in Austria during the summer
 

Hi,
Can anyone recommend nice areas of Austria to go and stay for a summer holiday?
Thanks

Hi rhianapritchard,

Well, what's your idea of "nice"?

My idea of nice would be quiet, idyllic, green rolling hills, somewhere on a lake or within biking distance of a lake. For that, head to St. Gilgen.

You must tell us what you want to do/see.

When I travel I want to see every museum, cathedral and palace and spend time eploring cute neighborhoods and sitting in cafes.

A couple of days on a lake would be OK - but more than 2 and I would be bore stiff.

Who/how many are you and what do you want to see/do?

I agree---St. Gilgen and Salzburg area.

Do you want mountains - lakes - sightseeing - walking/hiking? There are lots of options.

Salzburg is a beautiful town. If you explore the Salzkammergut around there you will find lot of scenery from idealic villages to mountains, lakes, salt mines and even castles and ice caves.

Hi. Thanks for your replies. We are a couple who will be on kind of a mini honeymoon I guess. Lakes and mountains would be fab, bit of piece and quiet but maybe close to some towns/cities to visit.
