The lay of the land
There’s no coast here. Austria is wedged between its neighbours and everything in and out goes by land or air: the train and the road are the trip, not the transfer.

TRIP FILE DATA
Vienna’s coffee houses, where the unwritten rule is that nobody moves you on, Salzburg, and the Alps behind it all. Austria is two trips in one, the imperial capital and the mountains, and the train between them is one of Europe’s finest.

Travel notes for Austria
AT / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
The first place being connected pays off is passport control, when they ask for your hotel address and it’s sitting in your email. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. An Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and wakes up when you touch down.
Timing your trip
In Austria the calendar works the European way: July and August are the expensive, crowded part. November and February the cheap, cold one. The months in between are where the trick is.
Paying your way
When a card machine or an ATM asks whether you want to pay in your own currency, say no: that’s dynamic currency conversion and the rate is always worse for you. Pay in the local currency every time, and leave the airport exchange desk as a last resort.
Documents & cover
Travel insurance looks like an expense until the day it isn’t: one night in a hospital abroad costs numbers you don’t expect. Sort it before you book, and check whether your card already includes some: sometimes it does, and almost nobody looks.
Getting understood
Numbers are what get misunderstood most: prices, times, platform numbers. Have them written or typed rather than spoken, and repeat them back before you agree to anything.
