Austria Tours & Trips
Austria is a fantastic destination year-round. In winter, hit the slopes in the Alps and sip mulled wine at Vienna’s magical Christmas markets. The capital is a must in other seasons, too: visit Schönbrunn, the Belvedere, and historic cafés like Central. Salzburg boasts pastel-colored houses and a hilltop-perching fortress. Add the idyllic village of Hallstatt, embraced by mountains, to your list.

I enjoyed this trip very much! Itinerary was great, Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck, and Hallstatt are all excellent places to see. I might suggest top of Innsbruck cable car instead of crystal world. All trains were smooth and efficient, and public transportation within cities is great, just make sure to have your tickets at all times. Hotels were nice, WiseYatra points out that European hotel rooms are small, and they were for the most part, but big enough and breakfasts were great. We were particularly pleased that Tourradar and WiseYatra put this together for us at last second after our River cruise cancelled due to low water. So go and enjoy beautiful Austria in one week!
Austria in a Week (Best of Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck)Beautiful country. The hotels were very comfortable, clean, and safe. the downside was I was the only person on my tour/ circuit. I was so hoping for there to be others that I could have run into and hiked with. However, it was near the end of the season. So my mistake. With Eurohike I had to prompt them to give me information. Like my hotel literary, and hike guide. also I learned after arriving that there was an app that was essential to navigating the trails. Since there are so many junctions and side trails on the course. It took 2 days to get the guide files. As a result for the first 2 days of hiking I lost track a few times & had to back track to get back on the desired trail. I'm sure if I was with other hikers this wouldn't have been as big a challenge. Overall a fairly great experience. Hopefully going to do another one with the lessons I have learned from this one.
Ten Lakes Trekking TourIt was my first time trekking self guided, and I was lost in so many informations, but in a couple of days, got my confidence back and everything went well. The Wolfgangsee is impressive!!! So was Hallstad from the other side of the lake. Once in the vilage no so great, with lots of small tents, selling everything. The food in every town was great. Bad Ichl is wonderful. Good idea to stay there for a rest day. I totally recomend this tripé. Gustavo

Best time to visit Austria
- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn hiking through Austria's lake district blends comfortable temperatures with quieter trails, where you can walk 10-22km each day between alpine meadows and cultural sites. The Dachstein Circuit and Salzkammergut paths connect glacier views with historic landmarks, and the seasonal timing means you'll avoid peak season crowds. Around Bad Ischl and Lake Wolfgang, you can follow Emperor Franz Joseph's former riding paths, cross hanging bridges above Lake Hallstatt, and explore at an unhurried pace. TourRadar customers mention the special quality of autumn light on the lakes, particularly during morning walks from Weissenbach to Bad Goisern along the Bear trail. The marked paths through Koppen valley and around Lake Wolfgangsee offer perfect conditions, with stops at Koppenbruellerhoehle Cave and strategic ferry rides between treks. For those seeking technical challenges, the Schladminger Glacier routes demand hiking poles to navigate scree fields and rocky sections under crisp autumn skies.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
The winter magic really comes alive in Austria from late November through December when Christmas markets pop up across the cities. You can join tours linking Vienna, Salzburg and Budapest to get the full festive experience. Vienna itself has 11 different markets scattered through the city center - our customers usually start at the big one in front of City Hall before discovering the smaller, more intimate settings at Schönbrunn Palace and Belvedere. Many tours include classical concerts where Mozart and Bach echo through baroque churches, while some feature the elegant white stallions at the Spanish Riding School. After exploring the markets, you can warm up in Budapest's thermal baths which makes for a cozy end to these winter routes.

- Spring 2027
Spring tours through Austria's Wachau Valley blend vineyard walks with riverside perspectives. Our TourRadar customers appreciate how these routes take them through apricot orchards in full bloom, and up to viewpoints like Seekopf where you can see all the way to the Alps on clear spring days. The heritage trails connect cultural highlights with natural wonders - you'll walk from monastery Göttweig to Dürnstein's castle ruins, then take scenic ferries across the Danube to explore Austria's largest apricot growing region. Many travelers choose Vienna-based spring itineraries that combine city exploration with countryside day trips, particularly enjoying how the Danube Valley excursions let them see medieval towns like Krems and Dürnstein coming alive after winter. The routes through Salzkammergut work especially well in spring with moderate daily walks of 12-16 kilometers, linking historic spots like Bad Ischl with lakeside paths where you can watch winter's last snow melting off the peaks.

- Summer 2027
The Austrian Alps come alive in summer with hiking routes for every fitness level. The Dachstein Circuit offers daily walks between 10 and 22km, connecting alpine meadows with glacier viewpoints. What makes these tours special is the mix of accommodations - you'll spend some nights up in mountain huts with amazing views and others down in comfortable valley hotels where your main bags are waiting. Around Hallstatt and the Salzkammergut, the lake tours let you cool off with swimming breaks between walks. You can visit cultural spots like the imperial villa at Bad Ischl and natural highlights including the Five Fingers viewing platform. The summer cards that come with many tours give you free cable car rides and boat trips, which helps keep the overall cost down.
