Have a holiday of a lifetime. Walk in the Viennese woods, splash about on the River Danube and indulge in its famous wine taverns. Anyone can find something that pleases them in this majestic, welcoming city.
When to Go
Vienna is definitely an all year round destination. In terms of the weather, you need to miss the January chill as well as July and August's extreme temperature. June and September are pretty great times to visit, so think most other visitors too. Hence, Vienna is particularly packed in those months. It is a better idea to choose the less busy spring/autumn months, April-May or October-November.
