Best time to visit Austria

While Austria is a popular destination to visit all year round, May-June is the ideal time to go due to a number of factors such as the climate, cost of travel and accommodation, as well as avoiding peak holiday periods.

In the summer months, temperatures in Vienna can climb to a maximum of around 29℃ (85℉) during the day. The average Vienna temperatures in winter reach lows of around -3℃ (27℉), while the coldest it gets down to is about -8℃ (18℉). Other areas in Austria can sometimes get even colder than this – You can check out the climates of other popular destinations below.

The longest days between sunrise and sunset in Austria are usually in August, so if you want to get the most out of your daytime activities, be sure to plan your visit around this time. The wet season in Austria falls around May, so if you prefer the dryer weather, you should look to visit in April instead.
