Best cities to visit in Austria

  • Vienna: The capital city with its historic past, beautiful architecture and manicured parks is a definite must on a visit to Austria. Visit the galleries of the Museum quarter and explore the winding streets of the old town stopping for a bite to eat in the cafes. Vienna is a city of theatre, music and opera so be sure to visit the Vienna Musikverein or Vienna Konzerthaus to attend performances.
  • Salzburg: Famous for being the birthplace of Mozart and the location for the Sound of Music, Salzburg is well worth the visit. Even if you don’t want to do the regular tours, the city itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site that is rich in culture. Walkthrough the Old Town with its Baroque architecture or climb the hill behind the town to visit the Hohensalzburg Fortress that dates back to 1077.
  • Zell am See: Escape into the mountains and relax on the shores of the beautiful Lake Zell situated in the Zell Valley. While you are there explore the Old Town, popping into St Hippolyte’s Church or head down to the lake to go swimming at one of the lidos. There are skiing opportunities in winter and hiking trails in winter so you can visit all year round and still have things to do.

Winter in 2024 in Austria

For winter sports fans, Austria is a great destination. Hire an SUV with winter tyres and drive up into the mountains for a ski break. Kitzbühel, a famous ski area in Austria, lies east of Innsbruck and has around 105 miles of slopes providing something for all levels of skier. If you want to try snowshoeing go to Salzburg and the Mauterndorf ski region. Winter is a great time to visit the castles of Austria especially if it is snowing. Try popping into Burg Kreuzenstein just north of Vienna.
