💡 Local Tips

Insider advice from the LonelyRoad community

Visa & Entry for US citizens: No visa required for stays up to 90 days in Schengen area (which includes Austria). Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond departure from Schengen. No ETA/e-visa/arrival forms or tourist taxes due before entry. Proof of onward travel sometimes requested. See official info: https://at.usembassy.gov/visas/ and https://travel.state.gov.
Vienna is one of Europe's safest capitals, but keep an eye on bags in crowded areas and on the metro.
Use Vienna's efficient public transport (U-Bahn, trams, buses); get a 72-hour Wiener Linien pass to save money.
Most cafes are laptop-friendly, but avoid busy lunch/dinner times for long work sessions.
Austrian people value politeness—greet with ‘Grüß Gott’ or ‘Hallo’ when entering shops/cafes. Address staff formally (Herr/Frau).
Join free walking tours (e.g., Good Vienna Tours) to meet other travelers and get oriented to the city.
For digital nomads: Many coffee shops have outlets and WiFi, but coworking spaces offer reliable internet and networking events for easy socializing.
