From Vienna’s imperial palaces to alpine trails, crystal-clear lakes, and picture-perfect villages, every stop will take your breath away. And let’s be honest: what could be better than parking your caravan next to an apple orchard, waking up to the scent of fresh-cut grass, and having breakfast with a mountain view?
Vienna: a regal start to your road trip
Vienna is the ideal gateway to begin your campervan adventure through Austria. Elegant, refined, and unexpectedly vibrant, the Austrian capital blends history and modernity with ease.
Don’t miss the Schönbrunn Palace, the former imperial residence surrounded by majestic gardens and the famous green maze where you can happily get lost for a while. The St. Stephen’s Cathedral, with its Gothic architecture and central location, is the spiritual heart of the city. Art lovers will enjoy the Albertina Museum and the Belvedere, home to masterpieces by Klimt, Schiele, and other iconic European artists.
For music enthusiasts, Vienna is a paradise. Don’t miss the Mozart House in the historic center, where the composer lived and created timeless masterpieces. Strolling through the baroque streets and historic cafés feels like walking inside a visual symphony.
Salzburg: music, fortresses and enchanted landscapes
Next, head to Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart and one of Austria’s true gems.
Among its must-see attractions is the Hohensalzburg Fortress, one of Europe’s largest, offering a spectacular view over the city and surrounding Alps. Take a walk through the historic center and don’t miss the famous Getreidegasse, lined with wrought-iron signs, hidden courtyards, and centuries-old buildings. At number 9, you’ll find Mozart’s birthplace—now a museum telling the story of his life and works.
With its baroque streets listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Salzburg offers a magical atmosphere. The mountain backdrop, music drifting from cafés, and the aroma of cinnamon pastries create a truly unique experience.
The Austrian Alps: nature, hiking, and breathtaking views
After all that culture, it’s time for some adventure. The Austrian Alps are a paradise for motorhome travelers, offering countless scenic routes and nature trails. Every bend in the road reveals a postcard-perfect view—lush valleys, snow-capped peaks, and trails perfect for hiking, cycling, or simply unwinding.
Start with the impressive Hohe Tauern National Park, home to the stunning Krimml Waterfalls—among the highest in Europe—and the majestic Großglockner, Austria’s tallest mountain. You may even spot marmots and ibexes along the trails, making the experience especially memorable for families.
In Tyrol, between Längenfeld and Sölden, you’ll find breathtaking alpine landscapes perfect for trekking—and for relaxing, thanks to thermal spas nestled in the mountains. Don’t miss Lake Achensee, with its turquoise waters surrounded by peaks. It’s perfect for a cycling tour or a peaceful lakeside picnic.
A taste of Austria: local dishes you can’t miss
Every stop in Austria is also a culinary journey—one that will delight curious and gourmet palates alike. Even if your motorhome is well-equipped with a kitchen, it’ll be hard to resist the aromas and flavors of local cuisine.
One of the most iconic dishes is tafelspitz, a tender boiled beef served with vegetables, potatoes, and flavorful sauces. Then there’s the famous wiener schnitzel, golden and crispy, often served with potato salad or cranberry sauce. Sweet lovers will fall for kaiserschmarrn—a fluffy shredded pancake dusted with powdered sugar and served with plum or apple compote. And don’t forget the knödel, savory or sweet dumplings made from bread or potatoes, perfect as a side or main dish.
