KOWANZ. ORTNER. SCHLEGEL \u00a9 Leopold Museum, artscope \/ Riedler.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dose of <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/best-winter-city-breaks-in-europe\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/best-winter-city-breaks-in-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">festive spirit<\/a> you\u2019ll take in a Viennese winter is a hearty one, with its glittering ice rinks and fairylight-festooned Christmas markets. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christkindlmarkt.at\/en\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.christkindlmarkt.at\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rathausplatz Wiener Christkindlmarkt<\/a>, with its colossal Christmas tree before Vienna City Hall, is the most famous, the one in the shadow of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoenbrunn.at\/en\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.schoenbrunn.at\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace<\/a> the most spectacular. Expect handcrafted gifts and Christmas ornaments, with fingers warmed by Gl\u00fchwein, roasted chestnuts and Kaiserschmarrn \u2013 bite-sized pancake pieces, with some iterations including rum-soaked raisins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding to the merriment is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.austria.info\/en-gb\/inspiration\/ball-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.austria.info\/en-gb\/inspiration\/ball-season\/\" rel=\"noopener\">ball season<\/a>. From November through to January\/February, more than 300 soir\u00e9es take place across the city, in palaces and gilded concert halls. Get yourself a ticket and dress to impress or simply admire the flurry of fairytale ballgowns dashing from taxi doors across rain-licked streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from the museums, of which there are more than 100 (try the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leopoldmuseum.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.leopoldmuseum.org\/en\" rel=\"noopener\">Leopold Museum<\/a> with its Gustav Klimt and Austrian modernism works, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khm.at\/en\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.khm.at\/en\" rel=\"noopener\">Kunsthistorisches Museum<\/a> with collections spanning from ancient Egyptian times), there\u2019s no better place to while away a chilly afternoon than in one of the city\u2019s traditional coffee houses. The practice is so ingrained into Viennese culture that it\u2019s UNESCO-inscribed. There\u2019s no rush to vacate the marble-topped tables here; this is where you settle in for several hours of newspaper reading, people watching and sipping (a whipped cream moustache is guaranteed from a strong black Einsp\u00e4nner). And it\u2019s customary to queue at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacher.com\/en\/restaurants\/cafe-sacher-wien\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sacher.com\/en\/restaurants\/cafe-sacher-wien\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Caf\u00e9 Sacher<\/a> for the famous Sachertorte, a rich chocolate sponge cake with slithers of apricot jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winter is an excellent time of year to cosy up indoors at a grand concert hall for Vienna\u2019s most famous pastime: enjoying live music and opera. Head to the Golden Hall of the <a href=\"https:\/\/musikverein.at\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/musikverein.at\/en\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Musikverein Wien<\/a> for a classical Mozart performance by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, or the 1869 Neo-Renaissance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiener-staatsoper.at\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.wiener-staatsoper.at\/en\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Staatsoper Wien<\/a> to see the Vienna State Opera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Weather in Vienna in winter:<\/strong> Expect average daily temperatures between 0 and 5 degrees in Vienna in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What to pack for Vienna in winter:<\/strong> A warm coat, cosy layers, waterproof boots, a hat and gloves, and a smart casual outfit for evening concerts. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hubbyesim.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.hubbyesim.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">eSIM<\/a> will come into its own for restaurant bookings and ball planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vienna in spring and autumn: Heuriger season &amp; spring blossoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shoulder seasons of spring and autumn offer their own unique experiences, along with the benefits of lighter crowds and competitive hotel pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can almost feel a tangible shift in Vienna when winter transitions to spring; the freshly planted palace gardens start to fill up, the cherry blossoms of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wien.gv.at\/en\/leisure\/setagaya-park\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.wien.gv.at\/en\/leisure\/setagaya-park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Setagayapark<\/a> flutter like pink confetti and sidewalk caf\u00e9 terraces, like the beloved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landtmann.at\/en\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.landtmann.at\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caf\u00e9 Landtmann<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cafe-mozart.at\/en\/cafe-mozart\/our-coffee-house.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.cafe-mozart.at\/en\/cafe-mozart\/our-coffee-house.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caf\u00e9 Mozart<\/a> near the Vienna State Opera, come to life. The temperate weather makes it a great time of year for exploring, cycling and taking to the walking trails to the west of the city, which are worth the journey for the views back over the skyline. The Art Nouveau-style <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palmenhaus.at\/en\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.palmenhaus.at\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Palmenhaus<\/a>, a former greenhouse beside the Hofburg, is the perfect spring supper setting with its exotic plants and abundant light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Autumn is when the Heurigers \u2013 rustic wine taverns \u2013 are at their best, serving just-made, light and fruity wine along with Sturm grape juice, which is available only during harvest season. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pfarrplatz.at\/de\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.pfarrplatz.at\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mayer am Pfarrplatz<\/a> in Heiligenstadt dates back to the 17th century; Beethoven lived in the historic house here for a period. Vineyards and parklands are particularly picturesque as they transform from green to ruby, russet and gold, and the cooler weather is a licence to dig in to Austria\u2019s heartier fare, namely goulash, dumplings, sausages and roasts. Harvest time means markets like the Karmelitermarkt in Leopoldstadt are laden with vegetables and fruits, and pumpkin farms outside the city offer seasonal festivities. Embrace Halloween at the 1784 Madhouse Tower with its anatomical exhibits, or Vienna\u2019s Central Cemetery, home to the grave of Beethoven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Weather in spring and autumn in Vienna:<\/strong> Expect average daily temperatures between 10 and 20 degrees in Vienna in spring and autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What to pack for Vienna in spring and autumn:<\/strong> Light layers, a waterproof jacket or umbrella, comfortable walking shoes, and that all-important smart casual outfit for concerts.
