What do I need to know about staying in Vienna?

Weather

Vienna has become known as both a winter and summer tourist destination with both types of seasonal weather bringing in huge crowds. Popular months include April to May and September to October due to the mild temperatures during these seasons. With temperatures varying throughout the year and the city experiencing both snow and heat waves, looking ahead to the forecast for your trip is essential.

Transport

The best way to travel around Vienna is the public transport system in place. The combination of buses, trams, trains and the modern subway routes ensure that travelling around the city is stress-free and efficient. The city is known as being easy to navigate, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to get your head around travel arrangements.

Cuisine

Known as one of Europe’s gourmet capitals for food, Viennese cuisine is a must-try on your visit. Many traditional Viennese dishes are meat based, such as Wiener schnitzel, Tafelspitz, Beuschel and Selchfleisch. In addition to these savoury options, it is said that the variety of pastries and desserts this Austrian city offers helped put the popular Viennese cuisine on the map. With a fierce rivalry occurring between the Hotel Sacher and Demel over who serves the best Sachertorte, there’s never been a better excuse to indulge and sample both!

What else is Vienna known for?

Swimming spots

Vienna prides itself on its impressive array of pools, such as the open-air Schönbrunner Pool situated in the heart of a beautiful park and the Krapfenwaldlbad located on a hillside and boasting breath-taking views over Vienna. For a dip in a natural setting, the lakeside area of Alte Donau (Old Danube) is a gorgeous space with lidos and jetties for swimmers.

With 700 hectares of vines within the city boundaries of Vienna, there is no denying the irresistibly delicious wine which the city produces. There is an abundance of cosy wine taverns to enjoy around Vienna, alongside many vineyards, including Weingut Cobenzl, to experience a classic tasting tour in a picturesque setting.
