Austria is a landlocked country in Central Europe. To get your bearings before a trip, it helps to keep three things in mind: Vienna, Austro-Bavarian German and the euro. The available information is not enough to plan a route or confirm current services.
A country in Central Europe
Austria is in Central Europe and has no coastline. This provides an initial geographical frame of reference, but it does not tell you distances, travel times or connections between destinations: check up-to-date information before planning your itinerary.
Vienna, language and currency
Vienna is the capital. The available record identifies Austro-Bavarian German as the language and the euro (€) as the currency. These are useful reference points for preparing linguistically and financially; they do not provide prices, information on accepted payment methods or figures for calculating a budget.
What to confirm before you go
The information consulted does not allow us to confirm current flight routes, schedules, fares or other services.
