Frequently Asked Questions about hostels in Austria

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?

    For budget-conscious travelers, Austria offers plenty! Hiking in the Alps is free, offering stunning views. Many towns have free walking tours, providing a great introduction to their history and culture. Exploring parks like the Stadtpark in Vienna or Mirabell Gardens in Salzburg is also free. Visiting smaller, less-known towns and villages often means lower entrance fees to museums and castles than in major cities. Look for free events and concerts, especially during summer months.
  • What are the best hostels in Austria?

  • Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from Austria?

    Vienna International Airport (VIE) is the largest and busiest, handling a significant portion of international flights. Salzburg Airport (SZG) and Innsbruck Airport (INN) are also major gateways, particularly for those heading to the western regions of the country.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in Austria?

  • What currency do you need for Austria?

    The euro (€) is the official currency.
  • What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in Austria?

  • How easy is it to navigate the roads in Austria?

    Austria has a well-maintained road network, making it relatively easy to navigate, especially if you're comfortable driving in mountainous areas. The autobahn (highway) system is excellent but tolls apply. Clear signage is generally available, and GPS navigation systems work well. However, be prepared for winding roads in mountainous regions and potentially challenging driving conditions during winter.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in Austria?

    The best hostels for families and kids in Austria are Vienna Hostel Ruthensteiner, Wombat's City Hostel Vienna Naschmarkt and Superbude Wien Prater.

  • How can travelers best respect local customs while in Austria?

    Austrians appreciate politeness and respect. Saying 'Guten Tag' (good day) and 'Bitte' (please) and 'Danke' (thank you) goes a long way. Being mindful of noise levels, especially in residential areas, is important. Tipping is customary in restaurants (around 10%). Learning a few basic German phrases will be well-received.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in Austria?

    The best pet friendly hostels in Austria are Superbude Wien Prater, Mellow Mountain Hostel and Kolpinghaus Linz.

  • Which traditional festivals define the spirit of Austria?

    Austria boasts many vibrant festivals! The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's New Year's Concert is world-renowned. Various Fasching (Carnival) celebrations take place across the country in the weeks leading up to Lent. Numerous regional festivals celebrate local traditions and harvests throughout the year, like the Salzburg Festival, a renowned classical music festival.
  • What are the best hostels with parking in Austria?

  • What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns in Austria?

    For medical emergencies, dial 144. For general emergencies, including police and fire, dial 112. This number works across the European Union.
  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Austria?

    A week allows for exploring diverse regions. Consider combining Vienna (for its culture and history) with the Salzkammergut region (for its stunning lakes and mountains). Alternatively, explore Tyrol in the west, known for its skiing and hiking opportunities in the Alps, or the Wachau Valley, famous for its vineyards and charming towns.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Austria?

    For a shorter trip, focus on a single region. Vienna is easily explored in a weekend, offering impressive palaces like the Schönbrunn Palace and Hofburg Palace, along with world-class museums. Salzburg, with its charming old town and Mozart's birthplace, is another excellent choice for a quick getaway. Innsbruck is also easily accessible and offers a beautiful alpine setting.
  • Are there specific regions known for great weather?

    Southern Austria, particularly around the Burgenland region, tends to have the warmest and sunniest weather. However, Austria's weather varies greatly depending on altitude and location. The mountains will always be cooler than the lowlands, and expect rain and snow in the higher elevations even during summer.
