Vienna Flights

Wandering the streets and gazing at such buildings as St. Stephen's Cathedral and the Hofburg Palace, it is easy to forget that Vienna is a modern metropolis. Once you do a bit of exploration, however, you will come to see that this lovely city houses numerous contemporary attractions, like the Schonbrunn Zoo and the Technisches Museum.
Additionally this location boasts a surprising amount of greenery, from the Alpine Garden to the Augarten park. Tourists flock to this location year round, so finding cheap flights to Vienna is an easy task.

Best time to go to Vienna

Peak Season:

The long, hot days of July through September call to tourists from around the world. While the city may be flooded with visitors, you will find that there are few locals, as many go on their own holidays during this period. Despite that fact, this is still a great time to visit, as the beautiful weather makes taking a wine tasting bike tour through nearby Wachau Valley, or a walking tour through Ringstraße Boulevard a real delight.

Shoulder Season:

May through June is an ideal time to visit this wonderful destination, as the prices of flights to Vienna drop, crowds are thinner, and the city sees an increase of festivities. For instance, if you visit in May you can catch the opening of the Wiener Festwochen, or enjoy the Donauinselfest in June.

Off Season:

Though Vienna rests as both tourists and locals escape the city in order to enjoy the Alps, this location still has plenty to offer. For example, if you visit the Vienna State Opera or Musikverein in February, you can waltz the night away with locals at the Viennese Opernball, or the Philharmoniker Ball.
Additionally, since most tourists bypass the city altogether in the off-season, this is a great time to pick up inexpensive flights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Vienna?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Vienna, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
