Austria is compact and its trains are excellent, so the classic route of Vienna, the Danube valley, Salzburg and the Tyrolean Alps flows naturally west in a week to ten days. Our experts set the pace, the concert nights and the mountain days around your dates.

Why Austria for your vacation

Austria is imperial grandeur and Alpine air in one small country. Vienna offers palaces, coffee houses, the opera and museums packed with Klimt and the old masters, all wrapped by the Ringstrasse boulevard. Salzburg is a Baroque jewel beneath a hilltop fortress, the birthplace of Mozart and the setting of a beloved musical film. Between them lie the Wachau's vineyards and abbeys along the Danube and the mirror lakes of the Salzkammergut, including the postcard village of Hallstatt. Innsbruck and the Tyrol bring cable cars, hiking and world-class skiing. December turns every square into a Christmas market, and the whole country runs with polished efficiency.

What's included in an Austria package

  • Round-trip flights on major airlines from your nearest US gateway to Vienna, with open-jaw routings through Munich, Zurich or Innsbruck for Alpine itineraries.
  • Hotels from Ringstrasse classics and Old Town boutiques to lakeside inns and Alpine spa resorts, at well-known brands and independent properties, with breakfast included at most.
  • Rail tickets between Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck, plus private airport and station transfers.
  • Optional add-ons such as Schönbrunn Palace and Hofburg tours, a classical concert or opera evening, a Danube cruise through the Wachau, a Salzburg musical-film tour, a Hallstatt day trip and a Tyrolean cable car excursion.
  • Danube river cruise combinations with pre- and post-cruise hotel nights, and extensions to Prague, Budapest or Munich.

Every piece is confirmed together so any change is coordinated. Call for current pricing on your dates.

Best time to visit Austria

Austria has a temperate climate with warm summers, cold snowy winters and distinct shoulder seasons. April through June and September through October are ideal for Vienna, Salzburg and the Danube, with mild weather, blooming gardens or autumn vineyards and manageable crowds. July and August are warm and busy, especially during the Salzburg Festival, which brings world-class music and heavy hotel demand. Mid-November through December is Christmas market season, with Vienna's and Salzburg's squares glowing with lights, mulled wine and handcrafts. Ski season in the Tyrol, Arlberg and Salzburg region runs from December to early April, while the Alpine lakes and hiking trails are best from June to September.

Where to stay: areas and resort styles

In Vienna, the Innere Stadt (first district) puts St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Hofburg and the opera within a short walk, the Ringstrasse hosts grand historic hotels, and Neubau and Leopoldstadt offer design hotels and a younger cafe scene. Salzburg's Altstadt on the left bank is car-restricted and enchanting, while the right bank around Mirabell Gardens is quieter and equally central. Hallstatt and St. Wolfgang offer lakeside inns in the Salzkammergut, Innsbruck's Old Town sits beneath the Nordkette peaks, and Kitzbühel, St. Anton and Zell am See are the resort villages for ski and summer stays. Styles range from palace hotels and Viennese townhouses to wine-estate guesthouses in the Wachau, family-run Alpine lodges and wellness resorts with thermal spas.

Things to do in Austria

  • Tour Schönbrunn Palace and the Hofburg, then attend an opera or a chamber concert in a Baroque hall.
  • Linger over coffee and cake in a Viennese coffee house and ride the Giant Ferris Wheel at the Prater.
  • Climb to Salzburg's Hohensalzburg Fortress and visit Mozart's birthplace.
  • Cruise the Danube through the Wachau Valley between Melk Abbey and Dürnstein.
  • Photograph Hallstatt from the classic lakeside viewpoint and tour its ancient salt mine.
  • Take the Nordkette cable cars above Innsbruck or hike the meadows around Kitzbühel.

Getting there from the US

Nonstop flights from New York, Newark, Washington and Chicago to Vienna take roughly 8.5 to 10 hours, with the best availability from spring to fall. From the West Coast, expect roughly 12 to 15 hours with one connection through a US East Coast or European hub. Salzburg and Innsbruck are reached with a connection in Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich or Vienna, and Munich's airport is a convenient gateway for Salzburg by train. Austria is in the Schengen Area: US passport holders may stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa, with a passport valid at least three months beyond departure. ETIAS travel authorization is being introduced — verify current requirements before travel. Austria uses the euro, the language is German with English widely spoken, and the country is on Central European Time, six hours ahead of US Eastern Time.

Who this package suits

Couples and honeymooners love Vienna's opera nights, Wachau wine villages and Alpine spa hotels; many add a lie-flat seat through our business class or first class reservation service. Families enjoy the Prater, the musical-film tour, salt mines and summer cable cars. Seniors appreciate Danube cruises and rail touring with guided visits and gentle pacing — see our senior travel reservations. Music groups, ski parties and Christmas-market trips can keep everyone on one schedule with our group travel flights service. Solo travelers find Austria safe, orderly and easy to explore by train.
