With its temperate climate and stable economy, Austria provides the perfect environment for international meetings. Education level in Austria is high and most of the Austrians can speak English which helps event tourists a lot. Congresses and symposiums in Austria become very popular thanks to its central location and developed transportation system.

Austrian Cuisine

Austrian cuisine can be regarded as associated with Vienna’s (Wien in German) but there are many regional variations. Influences of Italy, Germany and Hungary cuisine can be seen in Austrian cuisine.

In breakfast, Austrians generally have bread rolls with jam, cheese or cold meat together with tea, juice or of course coffee.

Mostly, Austrians prefer beef, chicken and pork as meat. However in Austria cuisine there are many options for vegetarians. Probably the most famous dish is Wiener Schnitzel and generally it is made of veal.

Above all, Austria is a heaven for dessert lovers. Austrian pastries and sweets are really famous accompanied by great Austrian coffee.

Mobile Phones and Internet Access in Austria

Using your mobile phone in Austria can cost too much money due to roaming. So you may want to use your mobile phone only in Wi-Fi zones or buy a call and data package from your GSM operator before your arrival. Another option is that you can buy an international cell phone with a pre-paid SIM card. However it will be useless if you are in Austria for a short time.

Visa Requirements for Austria

If you are a resident of one of the members of Schengen, you are exempt from visa and travel freely in Schengen countries, including Austria.

The residents of the other countries need to apply Schengen Visa (Visa C) to enter to and stay in Austria up to 90 days. It is wise to check if Austria requires visa from your country before your arrival.
