Austria has one of the most highly developed transport networks in the European Union with a dense bus and rail network criss-crossing the country. Especially the federal capital Vienna has an excellent public transport infrastructure.

The best time to visit Austria is during the shoulder months, in spring, between April – May, and in fall, between September – October. The weather is excellent for outdoor activities, and the crowd is sparser. The high tourist season between June – August sees excellent weather and sunny days

Outside of the large European cities, you'll rarely run into unsafe situations. The larger cities can host a few exceptions such as petty theft and scam. Be sure to read situations well and get out of situations that make you uncomfortable.

Hostels. Hostels. Hostels. Not only are they cheap, but you will meet some of the most incredible people and hear the best stories. Even if your budget accounts for some upscale places, we recommend hostel traveling for the experience if nothing else.

What to pack varies depending on what time of year it is. In Vienna, the summers are warm; the winters are very cold, snowy, and windy; and it is partly cloudy year round.
