All my posts about travel in Austria: itineraries, food guides, and fun things to do!

Austria was one of the first countries I visited as a solo traveller, and I quickly fell in love with its fairytale cities, epic mountain scenery, and too-blue-to-be-true lakes! Not to mention all that delicious food!! I’ve visited many times, and it’s become one of the European countries I know the best.

Austria Travel Tips

Getting Around

  • Public Transportation: Trains are the fastest, safest, and most convenient option for travel between big cities.
  • Car Rentals: Renting a car is ideal for exploring remote areas, and driving in Austria is considered fairly straightforward once you get the hang of it.
  • Ride-Sharing: Services like Uber and Bolt are widely available in major cities.

Safety

  • Emergency Numbers: Dial 112 for emergencies anywhere in the EU.
  • Overall Safety: Austria is one of the safest countries in the world – but you should always take the same precautions you would anywhere else.
  • Good Travel Insurance: Make sure your insurance covers any adventure activities you’re planning, such as skiing or mountain biking.
  • Weather Preparedness: Dress in layers and be prepared for sudden weather changes, especially in the mountains.
