Austria
Between mountain-top bliss, Viennese coffeehouse culture, and crystal-clear alpine lakes: your guide to Austria.
Our Guide to Austria
-
Vibe
Cozy, alpine, and seriously rich in culture.
-
Best time to visit
June through September for hiking and sightseeing, December through March for skiing.
-
How long to stay
One to two weeks — enough for a mountain getaway, a city trip, or both.
-
Currency
Euros. Bring cash — mountain huts often don't accept cards.
-
Tipping
5–10% at restaurants is standard and expected.
-
Getting around
Austria is great by train, but a rental car gives you a lot more flexibility in the mountains.
