A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in January, February, June, August and December; quietest in April, July, September, October and November.

Being there

On arrival

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.
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.
