Ryanair connects Paris and Vienna with no stops from €68 for the full round trip. The median fare sits at €81, so you have good options even if you don't catch the lowest price. Book soon: the budget seats are limited.
Price and when to book
The cheapest flight costs €68, with a median of €81 (return). Sample prices range from €68 to €107. Low-cost airlines work this way: the further in advance you book, the more chances you have of finding cheap fares. If you're flying next week, choices are fewer and dearer. Ideally, book 2–3 months ahead for shoulder-season dates.
Airline and stops
Ryanair operates this route non-stop. You fly direct from Paris to Vienna. Note that Ryanair charges extra for large carry-on bags, seat reservations and other add-ons: check carefully before buying. The sample outbound departs at 18:35 and the return leaves at 09:15; these are reference times only and vary by date selected.
Best time to visit
Vienna is beautiful year-round. To dodge high prices and crowds, skip July–August and peak holiday weeks (late November, December). Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) offer good weather and fewer visitors. Prices tend to be lower in winter (except Christmas) and during mid-week gaps between holidays.
What to do when you arrive
Vienna airport is about 20 km from the centre. Easy access by train, bus or taxi. Once in the Austrian capital, don't miss Schönbrunn Palace, St. Stephen's Cathedral, the medieval Stephansplatz quarter or a classical concert. Viennese food (strudel, wiener schnitzel, coffee with Sacher torte) deserves its own mention. Walk along the Danube, explore local markets and soak up the imperial architecture.
