hi there,

The summer months in Austria are ideal for kayaking, fishing, hiking, bicycling, golf, and a myriad of other fun outdoor activities.

Touring Austria's cities is also is also a popular thing to do in summer months but places such as Vienna, for example, experiences its high season between the months of April and October.

Having said this, Vienna in the summer is great fun and you can enjoy walking tours in the city, taking in such attractions along the way as Schonbrunn Palace and Hofburg Palace.

If you head to the Alps in the middle of summer, however, you will want to bring some fairly warm clothes, as it can get chilly at night from time to time. A light, waterproof jacket should do you well, as it will not only warm you up if it should get cold, but it will also keep you dry should it rain.
