Family Holidays in Austria
Austria is the ideal family-friendly destination, and is packed with museums, parks, and outdoor activities to delight little ones and older kids alike.

Tyrol
Tyrol is a western state deep in the Austrian Alps and is the perfect destination for an active family getaway. During the winter months, wrap up warm and head to the mountains - whether you're a keen skier, or just want to tire the kids out, a holiday in the snow is sure to create some magical memories. Tyrol still has much to offer during the summer season. It gets surprisingly hot in the Alps, so pack the swimsuits and take a dip in the natural alpine lakes to cool off and take in the views. For the thrill-seekers in the family, check out the adventure forest in Bichlbach and try out the high rope courses and zip-lines for a brilliant family bonding activity.
-
Salzburg
Salzburg is most well-known as the birthplace of Austrian composer Mozart, but that doesn't mean it's not a great destination for families. Older kids will love exploring the many castles and museums Salzburg has to offer, and when the younger ones get restless, check out one of the 80 adventure playgrounds dotted around the city. Take a relaxing stroll around Salzburg's old town in the afternoon, and pop into one of the many chocolate shops when you're feeling peckish. Most of Salzburg's sights are half-price for children, and many galleries and museums are filled with activities to keep curious kids entertained for the day. Be sure to visit Schloss Hellbrunn just outside the city centre, and let the kids run wild through the famous trick fountain displays to let off some steam.
-
Vienna
Vienna is Austria's capital city, and is a surprisingly kid-friendly destination for a city so steeped in cultural tradition. Prater Amusement Park is the oldest amusement park in the world and is home to more than 250 attractions, including a giant Ferris wheel offering unmatched views of the city from 200 feet above ground. Spend a whole day at Vienna's famous Schönbrunn Palace, which has a host of activities on offer to keep the kids busy. Take a tour of the palace grounds, before heading to the Children's Museum, where kids can dress up as royalty and play with imperial toys. On the outskirts of the palace grounds is Schönbrunn Zoo, which is home to more than 700 species of animal and guarantees a fun day out for the whole family.
