Autumn in Vienna

Indian Summer - the most beautiful places to experience autumn in Vienna

Autumn is just around the corner, which means that Vienna will soon be bathed in beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow. Nature is in full bloom, inviting you to enjoy wonderful walks and other autumnal, romantic activities. Discover with us a fabulous selection of places where you can experience Vienna's golden autumn in the most beautiful way.

Wonderful colours: Indian Summer

Indian summer is a term that almost everyone knows, but what exactly does it mean? It comes from North America and describes the time in autumn when the trees turn their vibrant colours. During this time, forests, parks and cities are transformed into a sea of colour that could hardly be more beautiful - including our beautiful capital city. With its many beautiful parks, avenues and forests, Vienna is the perfect place to relax and enjoy an autumn walk.

Prater Park

A visit to the Prater or Prater Park is a must when visiting Vienna. Not only is it home to the iconic Giant Ferris Wheel and idyllic beer gardens, but it is also a sprawling park where you can spend many relaxing hours. Admire the colourful chestnut trees, take in the crisp autumn air or simply go for a jog around the park - autumn in the Prater is truly beautiful.
Address: Prater, 1020 Vienna

Stefaniewarte at Kahlenberg

The best view of Vienna in autumn is probably from the Stefaniewarte oberservation tower on Kahlenberg. Climb the tower, pause for a moment and just take in the colours. You can also combine a trip to the Kahlenberg with a walk or two through the Vienna Woods.
Address: Kahlenberg, 1190 Vienna

Setagaya Park

How about a little trip to another world? At Setagaya Park you will not only find beautiful autumn colours, but also a little piece of Japan in the middle of Vienna. Stroll along the bright red Japanese maple trees and enjoy the peace and quiet, the lovingly designed landscape and the autumn in Vienna. The park is an ideal retreat in the middle of our exciting metropolis and well worth a visit.
Address: Gallmeyergasse 4, 1190 Vienna

Franzlbauer Pumpkin Farm

Even though this place is not in Vienna, it is definitely one of the most beautiful places to enjoy autumn and its colours. Located just 20 km from Vienna, the Franzlbauer pumpkin farm is an absolute autumnal delight. As well as admiring the magnificent pumpkins, you can sample all kinds of pumpkin delicacies, carve Halloween pumpkins or let your children romp in the hay. A visit to the pumpkin farm is an experience for young and old!
