Getting to Austria and other information for tourists.
Austria by Road
All the major Austrian cities are connected by motorway, if you need
to get somewhere quickly, but driving on Austria's national roads is always more
interesting.
If you bring your own car to Austria, and intend to drive on the
motorways, you will need to buy a vignette - available from service stations
- and stick it in on your windscreen.
Vignettes can be bought for ten days, one month, two
months or a year. There are also tolls on some of the tunnels, but you
may prefer to drive over the passes in the summer months; for some
stunning views.
