Whether you’re taking a gondola ride or celebrating Mozart’s birthplace by attending an outdoor concert, it’s a good idea to dress in layers in May. Short-sleeves are fine on sunny days, but you’ll want a pullover or a light jacket for mornings and evenings. Rainy days are never too far off in Vienna, so having an umbrella handy will serve the smart traveler well.

The average high temperature in a Vienna May is º67 (F)/º19 (C). The average lows are º49/º9, with the overall average temperature at º59/º15. Every May in Vienna there are an average of 19 days above º65 (F).
