More than half a million children and teenagers in Vienna, Lower Austria, and Burgenland will start their nine-week summer holidays on Friday after receiving their report cards. For students in the other federal states, the vacation begins a week later. School starts again in the east on the 1st, and in the west on the 8th of September.

Vienna, Lower Austria, and Burgenland Before Summer Holidays

As usual, the end of the school year will also cause heavy traffic on the roads - in addition to Eastern Austria, the holidays also begin in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the German federal states of Thuringia, Saxony, and Saxony-Anhalt. Added to this are major events like the Formula 1 race in Spielberg. The automobile clubs expect longer waiting times on the main traffic routes from Friday afternoon, with Saturday likely to be the busiest travel day again.
