Vienna weather
The weather in Vienna is as close to perfect as you could expect from a European city. Summers are warm with average temperatures peaking between 22 and 26 degrees, while winters are fairly chilly, with the mercury hovering around zero. The best time to go for the good weather is summer, but spring and autumn are refreshingly brisk to mild, and crowds are thinner. Vienna’s weather forecasts will show most snowfall between December and March, so keep this in mind if you’re looking to get stuck in to some winter sports or want to see the city blanketed in snow.
