Austria can be visited year-round, but the best season depends on your plans. City sightseeing, hiking, skiing, lake trips and Christmas markets each have different seasonal advantages.
Spring
Spring can be a good time for Vienna and other cities, gardens and lower-elevation countryside. Higher Alpine areas may still have winter conditions.
Summer
Summer is popular for hiking, cycling, lakes and mountain excursions. Tourist destinations can be busy, so accommodation may require advance planning.
Autumn
Autumn brings changing landscapes, harvest traditions and good conditions for many city and countryside trips. Mountain weather becomes more variable as the season progresses.
Winter
Winter is the main season for skiing and snow activities in the Alps. Cities are also popular for museums, concerts and Christmas markets.
Choose by Region
Austria’s official tourism portal emphasizes that mountains, lakes, cities and cultural attractions offer experiences throughout the year. Conditions vary considerably with altitude.
