Why Austria
Why travel to Austria
In the heart of the Alps, Austria pairs imperial cities and coffee-house culture with some of Europe's finest mountain scenery — glacier roads, lakeside villages and world-class trails. Here is what to expect on the ground.
What's the weather like?
Austria has four distinct seasons. Summers in the lowlands and cities are warm, often around 20–30°C, while the Alps stay cooler. Winters are cold with reliable snow in the mountains — prime ski season.
Top things to do

- Explore Vienna's imperial palaces and coffee houses
- Hike or ski the Tyrolean Alps around Innsbruck
Dishes to try
- Wiener Schnitzel — breaded veal cutlet
- Tafelspitz — boiled beef in broth
