Review by MarinaVR from Moscow about the weather in the capital of Austria:

“The last time I was in Vienna was in November two years ago. We were lucky, the weather was favorable for walking. But I know the unpredictable Austrian weather, so in case heavy rain I have a raincoat, an umbrella, a change of socks and another pair of warm sneakers in my backpack. Before a long hike, I go into a cozy cafe, where the smell of coffee and fresh strudel immediately tickles my nostrils. I refuel and walk with my camera along the old streets of the capital. By the way, breakfast in Vienna is inexpensive - a large cup of cappuccino + croissant = 5 euros!”

In the meantime, while it’s raining outside, take a look at a cozy cafe, they are everywhere here.

• First, check out St. Stephen's Cathedral - this is business card Vienna!

St. Stephen's Cathedral is one of the symbols of the city.

• Next, go to the famous Vienna Opera and the Am Hof ​​square, where the most beautiful Church, the Military Arsenal, the Column of Mary and the Collalto Palace are located.
• Now choose one of three directions - Kohlmarkt, Kentnerstrasse and Graben. These are the central streets of the city, forming the Golden U.
• Be sure to go to the ancient Hofburg Palace, and from there go to Vienna boulevard ring Ringstrasse, where the City Hall, the Parliament building, the University and the Burgtheater are located.

Hovburg Palace is always crowded.

This is just the center of Vienna! It is huge and it is impossible to see everything in one day. For relaxation and a snack, go to any cafe along the tourist route. In the evening, in restaurants, you will probably find yourself at a celebration with national songs and dances, which cheerful Austrians organize with or without a reason.

Advice! On the day of arrival, purchase a Vienna Card. This is a universal pass to hundreds of city museums, allowing you to visit all the sights of the capital at a big discount.

If you have a ticket, you will travel for free on all types of transport. And in cold November, tourists prefer tram route No. 1, which runs along the central streets of the city. The cost of the Vienna ticket is 29 euros, the card is valid for 72 hours.

Review by Igor Bondar from Semipalatinsk about a trip to the capital of Austria:

“Every year I buy tours to Vienna during my next vacation. I save up all year so that I can vacation in the heart of Europe without any problems. In 2015, the trip took place in November. It was cold, but there were few tourists on the streets and entrances to museums were free. I recently discovered a profitable trick - tourist map Vienna Pass. For 154 euros I bought a card for 6 days, received a map of the capital as a gift, visited almost 40 historical sites, and rode buses and the metro for free. Profitable, I recommend!”

The Vienna Pass card will allow tourists to save a lot of money.

Renting a car in Vienna is not a cheap pleasure. The daily rate is 56 euros, plus you need to pay for parking and pay a separate rent for a child seat. To travel outside of Vienna, visit Salzburg, the Wachau Danube Valley, it is better to use water or rail transport. The closest thing to travel from Vienna is to Salzburg, Bratislava or.

In conclusion, Evgeniy’s review from St. Petersburg about the features of the Austrian capital:

“The first time I was in Austria, I wandered around the streets of the city for a long time. The admiration was off the charts! But it was only on my second visit in the fall of 2017 that I began to notice details that others did not pay attention to. In Vienna, dogs and bicycles are allowed on the metro. The police are not visible, but there is perfect order on the streets and in transport. Drivers and pedestrians are extremely polite, although people in Vienna drink a lot (in the morning they can indulge in punch, mulled wine, etc.). You won’t meet drunken brawlers on the streets, and any passerby will answer your questions with a smile. In the capital, everyday culture is high level However, it is customary to throw cigarette butts near the trash can on the asphalt to prevent a fire. Like this interesting city, to which I will return."

Autumn morning in the Old Town.

Recommendation! Be sure to go to Vienna in November. You will see Old city without leaves or unnecessary decorations. In the cold autumn and winter around Christmas, the city becomes truly beautiful, opening warm arms to every visiting guest.

In November, the capital of Austria will most likely be cool, and in the second half, snow and slush may add to the cold. Read on the Tour Calendar about all the nuances of a trip to Vienna in November!

Weather in Vienna in November

In November, Vienna becomes cooler, the foliage noticeably thins, and you can feel the imminent approach of winter. It’s difficult to say for sure about the November weather in the city - there can be either clear, sunny days or cloudy and rainy days. Often, at the end of autumn, a terribly unpleasant piercing wind rises in the capital, at such times you want to take refuge in one of the cozy Viennese cafes or restaurants. The air temperature in early November is usually around +12..+16°C, while in the second half it is more often around +5..+8°C. In some years, the last month of autumn can be very warm, as, for example, in 2010, when the first week of the month the temperature rarely dropped below +15..+20 degrees. Still, we recommend refraining from traveling to Vienna in November and, if possible, rescheduling it either to - or to the second half. If this is not possible, then try to pack your suitcase so that the cold, dank weather does not come as a surprise to you.

What to do in Vienna in November?

Due to the November coolness, walking around the capital from morning to evening is unlikely to be comfortable, so when going here at the end of autumn, you should carefully consider your route, combining sightseeing with visits to museums, exhibitions, concerts and other interesting events. Already in the middle of the month, Christmas markets begin their work; rich illumination, cute souvenirs and winter goodies help create a festive atmosphere and anticipate the holiday long before its onset.

Entertainment and excursions

So, you are finally in the capital, what to see and do? In the center, the first thing you will see will be St. Stephen's Cathedral, the famous Vienna Opera and Am Hof ​​Square, where there are such historical attractions as the Am Hof ​​Church, the Civil Arsenal, Mary's Column, Collalto Palace. Next, you can stroll along the three most famous Viennese streets - Kohlmarkt, Kentnerstrasse and Graben, forming the so-called “Golden U”. From here it is very close to the famous Vienna Hofburg Palace. Another equally popular route is the Vienna boulevard ring Ringstrasse, where the Town Hall, the Exchange, the Parliament building, the University and the Burgtheater are located. And this is just the center of Vienna...

Often walks may not be interrupted completely favorable weather When you want to go to one of the cozy cafes or restaurants, it’s easy to catch performances with national songs and dances. A visit to one of Vienna's more than a hundred museums would be a good idea. By the way, if you come to Vienna for a few days and expect to visit several museums, then consider purchasing the so-called “Vienna Card”. This is a kind of tourist pass, it allows you not only to visit many museums and attractions of the city with a significant discount, but also gives you the opportunity to travel for free on all types public transport, which is especially relevant in November. Of particular interest to tourists is tram route No. 1, which runs through the historical center of the capital.

Holidays and festivals

In November, Vienna hosts a number of cultural events that will be of particular interest to lovers of music, fashion and photography. At the beginning of the month, you can visit the Viennale film festival, which began back in Vienna, where the work of film directors from all over the world is presented. At the fashion and photography festival you will learn about the latest trends among young Austrian designers. Dance lovers will be interested in two events in November.

These days, the city center turns into a large dance hall, where not only professionals, but also everyone dances to live music. After this festival, the ball season begins, during which up to 300 balls are held!

Vienna in November is also attractive for real gourmets. The point is that in the last autumn month The Feast of St. Martin is celebrated here, at which time many restaurants prepare goose according to a special recipe - with potato dumplings, chestnuts and red cabbage. In addition, in November, residents and guests of the capital like to visit heurigers, where they offer young wine grown in the suburbs of Vienna along with traditional Austrian cuisine.

Other weather conditions

Alas, those who chose November as their vacation time in Vienna should be prepared for a very unpleasant cold wind, which practically does not subside. Even if you are lucky and the weather is clear and sunny, the wind will not let you enjoy the sun. Because of its dankness, it will seem that it is much colder outside than it actually is.

About rains It's hard to say. November can both delight everyone with sunshine and disappoint with cloudy and rainy days. Here you don’t need to rely on chance and be prepared for anything. Snow may also fall by the end of November.
