- Vienna concert and opera tickets sell out months in advance — book early.
- Ski resort bookings should include lift pass information for visa purposes.

Hoe veilig is het?
5/5
Very safe country. Vienna consistently ranks as one of the world's most livable and safe cities. Petty crime is low. Mountain safety is the main concern for adventure travelers.
Waarvoor moet ik oppassen qua oplichting?
- Pickpocketing on Vienna's U-Bahn and around Stephansplatz — keep valuables secure.
- Street performers or 'charity' collectors who pressure for large donations.
- Overpriced horse-drawn carriages (Fiaker) in Vienna — agree on price before riding.
Welke gezondheidsmaatregelen zijn verstandig?
- Excellent healthcare. EU citizens can use EHIC/GHIC. Private clinics available in cities.
- Mountain rescue is well-organized but may charge for helicopter evacuations — travel insurance is essential for ski trips.
Welke vaccinaties zijn verplicht?
- Routine vaccines. Tick-borne encephalitis vaccine recommended for hiking in forested and alpine areas.
Is kraanwater veilig om te drinken?
Tap water is exceptional — Austria's water comes from Alpine springs. Safe and delicious everywhere.
Zijn er actieve reisadviezen?
Avalanche risk in winter mountains — always check conditions and follow local advice. Summer thunderstorms in Alps can be sudden and dangerous at altitude.
Veiligheidsinformatie is gebaseerd op openbaar beschikbare reisadviezen. Raadpleeg de reisadviesservice van je regering voor de laatste richtlijnen.

Wat moet ik weten over de cultuur?
Wat moet ik doen?
- Attend a classical music concert or opera in Vienna — it's a quintessential Austrian experience.
- Try Wiener Schnitzel, Sachertorte, and Apfelstrudel.
- Use formal greetings — 'Grüß Gott' (God greets you) is the standard hello in Austria.
Wat moet ik vermijden?
- Don't confuse Austrian German with German German — Austrians have their own dialect and culture.
- Don't skip smaller cities — Salzburg, Innsbruck, Graz, and Hallstatt are stunning.
- Don't be loud in residential areas — noise regulations are strict, especially on Sundays.
Hoe werkt fooi geven?
Tip 5–10% at restaurants by rounding up. Tell the server the total amount when paying. Tipping is expected and appreciated.
Wat is de kledingvoorschrift?
Smart-casual in cities, especially Vienna. Opera and concerts often call for formal attire. Outdoor gear for Alpine activities.
Wat is de religieuze context?
Predominantly Catholic. Beautiful baroque churches are everywhere. Dress modestly when visiting. Many traditions (Christmas markets, Easter) have religious roots.
