One of the best things about Austria is how you can conveniently go from the city and out in nature. You can watch ballet and dress to the nines at Wiener Staatsoper. The day after, you can visit the seasonally opened Eisriesenwelt and explore its ice caves. In the afternoon, you can hike to see Bad Gastein Wasserfall and indulge in sumptuous dining at Gasteiner Wirsthaus afterward. In Vienna, you can waltz around like royalty at Schönbrunn Palace, then explore the grounds of the vast Lainzer Tiergarten.

Moreover, coming home to a tranquil accommodation with nature as your backdrop would be a perfect way to end the day. For this getaway, you can also dress up in a dirndl or lederhosen and experience a laid-back farm life. So, check out these best farm stays in Austria for a trip to remember.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.
