One of the largest cities in Europe, Vienna is a place of beauty and history that welcomes millions of visitors every year. Summer is the busiest tourist season and the most expensive, because of the comfortable weather. Highs average 75 degrees Fahrenheit with the temperature rarely dipping below 66 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Autumn can also be busy, especially in the earlier months, but it tends to die down as it gets colder. Highs range from 44 – 73 degrees Fahrenheit, so be sure to pack extra layers and be prepared for the chance of rain. Winter months are quieter and only attract tourists who don’t mind the cold, with highs of 37 – 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Christmas in particular is a magical time to travel to Vienna as it’s lit by decorations and has fantastic Christmas markets to explore. Spring is the slowest tourist season, so you can look for deals on hotels and flights. With highs of 50 – 75 degrees Fahrenheit and a fair chance of rain, be prepared with proper clothing and rain gear.

What are the current travel restrictions for Vienna?
Currently, Austria travel restrictions include travel to Vienna. Entry restrictions
Austria has opened its borders to travelers arriving from the Schengen Area, the UK, or from Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican. However, travel from outside of the EEA remains restricted for travelers who are not nationals of an EU/Schengen/ country or the UK, and flights remain suspended from certain areas. Austrian nationals, permanent residents, D-visa holders, and EEA nationals and their immediate family members may still enter Austria. Diplomats, humanitarian aid workers, people traveling on business, healthcare professionals, and members of emergency/rescue/ambulance crews may also enter the country, and travelers with an immediate connecting flight may transit through the country.
Entry requirementsFor travelers who may enter the country, the Austrian government has created a list of areas which it considers to be at elevated risk for COVID-19. Anyone traveling to Austria from one of these areas in the last 10 days must be able to present at the border a medical certificate with a negative COVID-19 test result issued within 72 hours prior to arrival. Without this document, entry will be refused for anyone without a valid Austrian residence permit.
Quarantine requirementsAustrian residents without a valid medical certificate may enter the country, but will be required to self-isolate for 10 days. Coronavirus tests, which provide the medical certificate, are available for €120 per test on arrival at Vienna and Salzburg airports for travelers with a valid Austrian residence permit. Travelers can present a negative test result to shorten the self-isolation period.
Transiting rulesTravelers transiting through Austria without medical certificate are permitted if they can show proof that they are just transiting.
