So… it turns out Vienna has LOTS to shout about, and while I may not have been the first to discover some of these spots, hopefully reading this post will inspire you to approach travel in a different way from time to time. Not only was it a refreshing campaign to be part of, it was also a very confident one! Would I find great spots with zero research? Would I come back with my own recommendations? What if I wandered the city and didn’t find anything that appealed to me? UnratingVienna campaign on the Leopold Museum MuseumsQuartier, Vienna Things like “1 star – no WiFi’ and “2 stars – mostly nudes”! Laughable reviews that bring down the museum’s overall ratings for the most insignificant reasons.

Exploring Vienna’s prettiest streetsĪs part of the campaign they projected negative ratings and reviews of the Leopold Museum (one of the city’s most important art museums) onto the side of the building. I’d be exploring with an open mind and seeing what I found naturally. I wouldn’t be checking Trip Advisor to find the best restaurants or racing around the city trying to tick off the top 10 attractions like the Schönbrunn Palace and the Natural History Museum. there wasn’t one! It was time for me to discover the city on my own. They’re on a mission to remind travellers that there’s more to travel than ratings and must-sees. I visited the city for the Vienna Tourist Board’s intriguing campaign: #UnratingVienna. It’s so easy to package Austria into this neat little box of skiing, mountains and Christmas markets, with a touch of ‘the hills are alive’! Rather like my previous adventures in Austria (which took me to Graz, Innsbruck and Salzburg) – it’s a country that keeps surprising me. Before my trip, it wasn’t a city I’d associated with summer breaks. I’ve just spent a few days exploring Vienna in Austria. Hear what made this trip extra special, and a few of my favourite places to visit in Vienna! The Viennese winters are actually busy seasons, with tourists enjoying the Christmas Austrian markets and Yuletide celebrations.Say ‘hallo’ to the summer city that took me by surprise.

By November, the climate in Vienna is becoming much colder, with winter frosts and snow just around the corner. When the sun goes in, the autumnal period soon cools down, particularly when it is breezy. Don't overlook the chance of intermittent rain during Vienna's summer. This fine weather can be short lived, although it usually lasts a week or two, being cooled down be prevailing wind on some days.

Each August usually experiences at least a few days when the temperatures rise as high as 14☌ / 86☏ or even 14☌ / 90☏. Others find autumn an appealing and rather romantic season to spend time in Vienna, although the skies can be somewhat overcast on some days.Īlthough most people think of the summer climate in Vienna being pleasant and quite sunny, there are days when it can actually feel extremely hot. The springtime climate during April sees temperatures averaging around 14☌ / 57☏ by day, even reaching 16☌ / 61☏ or 17☌ / 63☏ during the sunniest of weather. Since summer can be such a busy time in Vienna, being the peak tourism period, some visitors choose to take advantage of the favourable spring climate and visit at this time of the year, when hotel rates are more favourable and attractions less crowded. The Vienna climate is as most would expect, warm summers and cold winters, interspersed with fairly mild weather during both the spring and autumn seasons.
