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.
