When to go to Austria

Continental: harsh winters (+2 to -15°C, frequent snow), pleasant summers between 20 and 30°C. May to September is best for cities and lakes; December is magical for the Christmas markets but cold. Mountain weather turns fast: layers and a shell, always.

Practical tips

  • ÖBB trains: the right way — Railjets link Vienna-Salzburg-Innsbruck with enviable frequency and punctuality: Sparschiene tickets bought ahead on the ÖBB app cost half
  • If you drive: vignette and rules — On motorways and expressways the vignette (toll sticker) is MANDATORY: beware, the digital one bought online is only valid from the 18th day after purchase — to leave immediately buy the physical one at the border or a tobacconist
