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. 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. For 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 must be able to present at the border a medical certificate with a negative COVID-19 test result in English, French, German or Italian which is no more than 4 days old. Without this document, entry will be refused for anyone without a valid Austrian residence permit. Austrian residents without a valid medical certificate may enter the country, but will be required to self-isolate for 14 days. Coronavirus tests, which provide the medical certificate, are available for €190 on arrival at Vienna Airport for travelers with a valid Austrian residence permit. Entry to Austria without the need for a medical certificate or quarantine is possible for residents of Andorra, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, or the Vatican, who have spent the preceding 14 days only in those countries and not traveled elsewhere.

If you are planning to travel to Vienna at this time, it is recommended that you stay up to date on current restrictions and follow proper safety measures while in public.
