St. Anton or Vienna?
485 km apart, both in Austria. Each is scored month by month on the same ten years of climate readings, the public holidays that crowd it, and what the flight costs. This is where they part, and when.

Each cell is that destination's own verdict for the month — sweet spot, ok or avoid — with its typical daily high and its rainy days ("11d": days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them). The pick goes to the better verdict; with the same verdict, to the higher score, unless the two are within a whisker of each other, when it is either. A month both would avoid is neither. A dot marks a busy month. Fares are the typical return from Bengaluru, in INR.
Before you go
Both are in Austria, so the currency, the plugs and the travel advice are the same: type C and F plugs, driving on the right, paying in the Q4916. Everything for Austria.
On arrival
- Apps — Rides: Bolt, FreeNow, Uber. Maps: Google Maps, Apple Maps. Messages: WhatsApp.
- Paying — Debit and credit cards work in most shops in Vienna, even for small sums, but Austria is cash-minded and some shops and cafés still take cash only.
- UPI, for visitors from India — Not accepted for paying here; bring a card that works abroad.
- Getting around Vienna — Buy tickets in the WienMobil app or at station machines; 24-hour and longer passes suit visitors. A Tap+Ride trial at nine U-Bahn stations sells single rides when you tap a bank card.
- Tipping — About 5 to 10% in restaurants and cafés, added as you pay, in cash or on the card; check the bill first. Taxi drivers are usually tipped too, though it is not required.
- Emergency — 112 (any emergency) · police 133 · ambulance 144 · fire 122.
TravelCharika is not an emergency service: we cannot call for help or send anyone. Numbers can change; if one fails, ask someone local or your hotel.
Put together by hand from the sources listed, checked 3 October 2026. Apps, cards and rules change, so check before you rely on one.

Between them
485 km as the crow flies, about 1h 30m in the air.Nonstop · Austrian Airlines. By road, 599 km and about 6h 12m.
The flight time is estimated from the distance. A nonstop or a road is named only where a record has it — nonstop routes from Wikipedia's airport articles (CC BY-SA 4.0), roads from openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT — and none of it is a fare; the searches on each destination's page are where prices live.
