Vienna -
The best and worst
times to visit

Insights you need to know

Best times

May and June

Temperatures are comfortable, daylight sightseeing hours are long, and the summer tourist mobs have yet to arrive.

September and October

From about mid-September onwards, the air is refreshingly cool and tourist crowds become manageable.

Least desirable times

December to February

It is truly cold (think freezing daytime temperatures). And snowfalls could hamper your sightseeing outings.

However, despite the cold, snowy weather, there is one short winter time that's extra special: Christmas and New Year's (see #3).

July and August

Vienna swarms with tourists, so expect high prices, long lines, and hard-to-get concert tickets and hotel reservations.
