Winter is finally over and you can visit destinations across Austria again.
It's good that the following nine are also free.
Austria has a lot to offer.
It's no wonder that you don't know what to do first because of all the offers.
Hiking in Tyrol, sightseeing in Vienna or would you rather go on free excursions to Sissi's footsteps?
The awakening spring doesn't really make it any easier for us to make a decision.
What could help you make your decision, however, is the cost of your trip.
This is where we come into play.
In addition to these ten general free excursion destinations in Austria, we have now put together a few for you especially for spring.
You will see: Each federal state is represented once.
So get out into the fresh air and enjoy spring!
Spring in Austria - is there anything more beautiful?

1. Cherry blossom in Vienna
You don't have to go to Japan in spring to experience the cherry blossoms.
In (always something special) Vienna there is a part of the Danube Island where the path is lined with cherry trees.
On the other hand, there are also a few Japanese gardens that, in addition to the cherry trees, make you feel even more like you are in Japan.
2. Hiking in the Salzkammergut
