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. |
