In the case of Austria, it cannot be said that it is best to visit at one particular time. It really depends on what you want to experience on your travels and what activities you plan to do. In general, however, summer and winter are the best times to visit. In summer, the weather is very good for hiking, swimming in lakes and visiting towns. In winter, on the other hand, Austria has great conditions for skiing, which usually lasts until the beginning of spring.
In general, Austria tends to be one of the more expensive destinations. However, it depends on the season and your requirements. Our experience tells us that you can find very affordable accommodation that is comparable in price to that in the Czech Republic and the quality is usually a bit higher.
The most suitable means of transport for travelling around Austria is definitely a car. However, there is also a very good rail network in Austria and if you are a traveller who prefers to drive, you will be able to plan your trips by train.
In Austria, specifically in Vienna, there is a very popular airport, which is the starting point for many Czechs and Slovaks – there are many more routes, often at better prices.
Thanks to its location near the Czech Republic or Slovakia, Austria has the advantage that it is “worth” coming here even for a day or a weekend. Of course, there are also areas further south/west where such a detour may not be entirely worthwhile.
In most cases, no. Austria has a better than average card payment infrastructure, but there are still businesses that only accept cash. Therefore, we recommend that you bring at least a small amount of EUR with you.
Yes, in the vast majority of places in Austria the water is drinkable.
