6 Perfect Places for a Family Vacation in Austria

Very few countries in Europe offer stunning views and experiences like Austria. Whether you are going in the winter to ski or visiting during the warmer months, your family should put these six places on your Austria Bucket List. 
Vienna
The capital of Austria is also the perfect place for a family vacation especially using a Vienna City Guide. Start your morning at one of the many cafes to get your caffeine jolt before taking on this historic city. 
Kids will love visiting the Children's Museum and the Vienna Zoo, and taking a ride on the giant Ferris wheel. You should also visit the Kunsthistorisches to view some of the best paintings in Austria. The family will also enjoy getting around Vienna on the Big Bus offering tours of the city. 
Salzkammergut Region
Full of incredible, clear lakes, the Salzkammergut Region is perfect for families during the summer. Make sure to watch "The Sound of Music" before heading on your vacation since the movie was filmed in this region. 

Couples will enjoy the romantic cities and spa resorts in the area. The kids will enjoy the fresh air and be playing around the many lakes in the region while you sunbathe. This relaxed city is the perfect getaway for an enjoyable family retreat. 
St Anton am Arlberg
If you're headed to Austria during the winter, your first stop should St Anton am Arlberg. Considered one of the best ski resorts in Austria, every level of skier will enjoy this resort in Tyrol, Austria. 
Plan smart because the popularity also can make it a little crowded. Consider going on the shoulder months to get better prices and avoid the crowds. If you happen to be travelling near the area during the summer, you can enjoy hiking in the stunning mountains as well. 
Wachau Valley
Southern Austria boasts the Wachau Valley, a gorgeous tourist destination. Start your adventure in Durnstein and learn about the sordid history of the town. Visit Melk to experience the beautiful Benedictine Abbey. 
Make sure to plan enough time to visit a good portion of the 500 historic monuments in the city. After a long day, you can also enjoy some of the many local wines the region has to offer. 
Innsbruck
Another perfect family winter destination is Innsbruck, which is known for hosting two winter Olympics. This city infuses skiing and historical significance so some of the family can hit the slopes while the less athletic can tour the cathedrals and museums. 
The tomb for Emperor Maximilian I is also located in Innsbruck. Make sure to visit the Bell Museum that highlights the 400 years of bell-making in Innsbruck. 
Salzburg
Right on the German border sits Salzburg, which is famous as the birthplace of Mozart. Located in the Salzkammergut Region, Salzburg is filled with Alpine scenery. Visit the Baroque Mirabell Palace and Gardens as well as Mozart's birthplace and a reconstructed version of his home. You can also book your stay at the iconic von Trapp house featured in "The Sound of Music."
Don't miss out on all the remarkable experiences Austria has to offer. This beautiful and accessible country is perfect for your next family vacation.
