5. Show Your Moves at a Ball
Between November and April, Austria holds almost 500 balls – most of which happen in Vienna in January and February. The Viennese Ball is a centuries-old tradition that preserves a very strict ceremonial program of fancy dress code, waltzing, fine cuisine, and the exclamation «Alles Walzer!» to get the celebration started.
6. Wander through Alpine Villages
Austrian Alpine villages are some of the best places to visit yearlong, but they are particularly magical when it snows. There’s a unique charm to cobblestone streets covered in powdery white as you make your way around centuries-old buildings decorated for the holidays.
