| Austria Travel
Advice and Security |
|
| |
Austria is
among the safest countries in the world. However, you should always
consult your foreign office's travel advice section to get the
latest travel advice information. Prior to any trip every traveller
should consult a GP and/or visit a travel clinique. Austria is a
mountainous country and mountains can be dangerous. The weather can
change in minutes and you may find yourself suddenly surrounded by
fog with a visibility of only 2 - 3 metres. Always get appropriate
advice before you set out. Appropriate outdoor clothing is also very
essential, if you go trekking in Austria. |
