Do not fill this in! == Geography == [[File:Vienna by Sentinel-2.jpg|thumb|[[Satellite photo|Satellite image]] of Vienna by [[Sentinel-2]] in 2018]] Vienna is located in northeastern Austria, at the easternmost extension of the [[Alps]] in the [[Vienna Basin]]. The earliest settlement, at the location of today's [[inner city]], was south of the meandering Danube while the city now spans both sides of the river. Elevation ranges from {{cvt|151|to|542|m|ft|0}}. The city has a total area of 414.65 square kilometers (160.1 sq mi), making it the largest city in Austria by area. === Climate === {{too many charts|section|date=March 2024}} Vienna has a borderline [[oceanic climate|oceanic]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Cfb'') and [[humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Dfb''), with some parts of the urban core being warm enough for a [[humid subtropical]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Cfa'') classification. The city has warm, showery summers, with average high temperatures ranging between {{cvt|25|to|27|C|F}} and a record maximum exceeding {{cvt|38|°C|0}}. Winters are relatively dry and cold with average temperatures at about freezing point. Spring is variable and autumn cool, with a chance of snow in November. Precipitation is generally moderate throughout the year, averaging around {{cvt|600|mm|1}} annually, with considerable local variations, the Vienna Woods region in the west being the wettest part ({{cvt|700|to|800|mm|0}} annually) and the flat plains in the east being the driest part ({{cvt|500|to|550|mm|0}} annually). Snow in winter is common, even if not so frequent compared to the Western and Southern regions of Austria. {{Weather box|location= Vienna ([[Hohe Warte (Vienna)|Hohe Warte]]) 1991–2020, extremes
