Best time to travel
Vienna is spectacular year-round, but if you're chasing cheap fares, visit in low-demand months: November, January, February. Winter brings lower prices and fewer crowds, though it's cold. For better weather, April–May and September–October are shoulder season: pricier than winter, but without summer's heat and tourists.
What to do when you arrive
Vienna awaits with imperial palaces (Schönbrunn and Hofburg), world-class museums and historic cafés where you can linger for hours. The city centre is 20 minutes from the airport by train. Walk along the Danube, try Sachertorte at Café Central and climb Stephansdom cathedral. If you have spare time, Bratislava (Slovakia's capital) is just 45 minutes by train.
