A Seasonal Guide to the Amazing Vienna
Known for its music, architecture, and culture, Vienna is a favourite amongst travellers. From seasonal markets and sprawling green space to countless concerts and musical events, it’s no surprise that Vienna is one of Austria‘s most visited cities, year-round.
Winter
Fairs and markets are a stable on winter in Vienna
Perhaps it’s the clear light or the bracing air, but the effortless elegance of Vienna seems all the more striking in winter. The imperial grandeur of the Hofburg Palace practically shines when the sky is clear and bright, and there are so many museums to explore that there’s even one dedicated to the art of forging famous paintings. A winter visit also means plenty of time for Vienna’s much-loved coffee culture. A slice of sachertorte is an absolute must – the most luxurious chocolate cake you’ll ever eat, it’s so popular that it celebrates its own national day on December 5th!
Spring
Spring brings a pop of colour to the city
A city as beautiful as Vienna will always be sublime in spring. The gardens of the royal palaces, with their carefully tended lawns and smart rows of flower beds, become an oasis of calm, colour and industrious insects as the days get longer and brighter. Vienna’s stately and dramatic architecture provides an atmospheric backdrop for exploring its streets, creating an ambience that’s refined without ever being stuffy. You’ll definitely feel the pull of the city’s centuries of culture too, with the Vienna Spring Festival celebrating classical music in all its forms with a packed programme of concerts and events.
Summer
Soak up the summer sun in one of Vienna’s many green spaces
If you’re visiting Vienna in the summer, start your day by heading to the Danube. This venerable river offers funky cafés and bars on its banks, as well as eye-opening boat tours and even beaches on Danube Island for a spot of sunbathing. Afterwards, spend the afternoon drinking in the glorious atmosphere of the Schönbrunn Palace’s Baroque gardens, or head to the vast expanses of the Vienna Woods to reconnect with nature. Summer is a glorious time to be in such a glorious city, and the magic of Vienna will ensure visitors are spellbound from the very start of their trip to the second they say goodbye.
Fall
There’s never a shortage of events to attend in the fall
Autumn in Vienna is like the aria in a particularly elegant opera – as beautiful as it is captivating, and an undisputed highlight. Fittingly, autumn is the start of the new season for theatre and opera in the Austrian capital, so if you fancy a night of culture you’ll have plenty to choose from. The palace gardens and parks don their autumn cloaks and are transformed into enchanting panoramas bursting with colour and romance, and the whole city is filled with music thanks to a series of concerts. Grab a ticket, settle back and enjoy everything from Jazz to Johann Strauss played by the world’s best musicians.
