Curated Austria holiday packages from India, from imperial Vienna and its palaces to the Alpine lakes around Hallstatt and Salzburg.
Vienna anchors most first visits, with the Alpine lakes and Salzburg adding a second, slower half to the holiday.
The Habsburg capital is walkable and grand: Schonbrunn and Hofburg palaces, the Ringstrasse, coffee houses and the State Opera all sit within easy reach.
The Belvedere holds Klimt's The Kiss and looks over formal Baroque gardens, best seen lit up at dusk before a night at a concert.
South-west of Salzburg, the lakeside village of Hallstatt sits under steep peaks, with a salt mine, a skywalk viewpoint and boat trips across the still water.
When to visit
May, June and September give warm, clear days for the lakes and long evenings in Vienna. Winter draws skiers to Tyrol and fills the cities with festive markets. July and August are the peak months at Hallstatt, so early starts help.
Vienna Christmas markets
From mid-November the squares at Rathausplatz, Maria-Theresien-Platz and Schonbrunn turn into market villages with hot punch, handicrafts and carousels. Vienna pairs easily with Budapest and Prague on a festive Central Europe route by train.
Getting there from India
Austrian Airlines flies nonstop from Delhi to Vienna in around eight and a half hours, which makes Austria one of the quicker European trips from India. A week lets you split time between Vienna and the lakes.

About a week works well: three nights in Vienna for the palaces and coffee houses, then three or four in Salzburg and the lakes around Hallstatt. Shorter city breaks focus on Vienna alone.
Yes. Austrian Airlines operates a nonstop service between Delhi and Vienna that takes roughly eight and a half hours, and one-stop options run from other Indian cities.
The main markets open in mid-November and run to late December or the first days of January, with Rathausplatz and Schonbrunn among the largest and most photographed.
Vienna is a short train ride from both Budapest and Prague, so a combined Central Europe itinerary across the three cities is one of the most popular ways to travel the region.
