 Summer sightseeing and winter sports make Austria
a year-round destination. The summer high season is in July and
August, when crowds will be bigger and prices higher.
It can be uncomfortably hot in the
cities over summer and many famous institutions close down. Consequently,
June and September are also busy months.
During winter you'll find things less
crowded in the cities and the hotel prices lower (except over
Christmas and Easter). Winter sports are in full swing from mid-December
to late March with the high season over Christmas, New Year and
February.
Alpine resorts are very quiet from
late April to late May and in November. Spring in the Alps is
in June, when the Alpine flowers start coating the mountains
with colour.
