Best time to visit

The best time to visit Vienna depends on what you're looking for in your trip. Here's a breakdown of the seasons:

🍃 Spring (April-May) is a lovely time to visit Vienna. The weather is mild, the crowds are smaller, and the city is in bloom. There are also a number of festivals and events held in Vienna during the spring, such as the Vienna Festival and the Vienna Woods Marathon.

🌞 Summer (June-August) is the peak tourist season in Vienna. The weather is warm and sunny, and the city comes alive with outdoor events and activities. However, it can also be the most crowded and expensive time to visit. If you're set on going in summer, aim for the shoulder months of June or September for slightly better deals on flights and accommodation.

🍂 Autumn (September-October) is another shoulder season in Vienna, with pleasant weather and fewer crowds. The leaves start to change color, making for beautiful scenery. There are also a number of harvest festivals held in Vienna during the autumn.

❄️ Winter (November-March) is the off-season in Vienna. The weather can be cold and snowy, but the city is beautifully decorated for Christmas. Flights and accommodation are also at their cheapest during the winter. If you don't mind the cold, winter can be a great time to visit Vienna for a more low-key and affordable trip.

Here are some additional factors to consider when planning your trip to Vienna:

✨Events: If there's a particular event you'd like to attend, such as a concert or opera, be sure to factor that into your planning.

My love for city trips started when I was 16, thanks to my mom who made it a tradition to take me to a new city every year. Since then, I've become obsessed with planning perfect trips, finding hidden gems, and hitting all the highlights without wasting any time. For the past 10 years, I've been a tour guide, leading trips all over the world, and worked at a travel agency where I created trips. I love the planning process and the thrill of visiting a city for the first time with a well-thought-out plan in hand. I've traveled to over 20 cities and can't wait to explore 20 more. In addition to Amsterdam, I've also lived in San Francisco, Dubai, and of course, Torrevieja. Each of these cities has given me a unique perspective and insider knowledge that I love to share.
