The best time to visit Austria depends on what activities you’d like to do during your trip. The winter months are favourites of those who love to indulge in some winter sports, including skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing. Vienna is also known for its Christmas markets, which will leave all visitors feeling the festive cheer. In the summer, you can enjoy snow-free alpine trails, sightseeing in Austria’s cities and swimming in the Danube River.

With enough forward planning, you can make a trip to Austria fit any budget. Travel around the country by train – you can buy discounted train tickets ahead of your visit. Spend as much time as possible exploring the photo-ready trails and mountains, plus visiting historic castle ruins. When it’s time to eat, you can visit one of the many supermarkets to pick up a delicious lunch to take on your hike or find a restaurant serving affordable set menus at both lunch and dinner.

Austria has an excellent public transport network, which is renowned for its efficiency. From trains connecting bigger cities to buses covering most places off the beaten track, getting around Austria should be easy – and scenic. Most of Austria’s city centres are easily walkable, or you can hire a bike or use local public transport to find your way round them. You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Austria has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

Its mountainous landscapes, idyllic villages, cities full of culture and passion for good coffee and cake are just some of the reasons to visit Austria. It’s easy to spend one day in the great outdoors and the next strolling the streets of beautiful Vienna in this compact yet diverse country.
