Living in
Vienna.
Austria is one of the safest and most beautiful
countries in the world. The weather in Austria is
temperate and typical of central European countries.
The climate in Austria varies according to season: in
summer the daytime temperature is hot but the nights
are cool, while winters are cold with temperatures
regularly below freezing in January and February.
Vienna and other low lying areas can get very hot
during July and August, while the mountainous regions
are tempered by altitude and breezes. The Austrian
ski season starts in December and runs until the end of
April.
GETTING AROUND IN AUSTRIA
Austria has a wonderful public transport system, which
many of us rely on. Within Vienna public transport
system is second to none. The trains, trams and busses
are clean and safe and they run extremely frequently.
The monthly charge to use the whole network is about
¬ 1 per day for an annual card.
A valid driverÕs license is required to drive a car in
Austria. According to Austrian law, the home country
license is valid for six months only. A transfer of the
non-EU license can be obtained if the license was
issued in the USA or Canada, Australia, Israel, South
Africa, South Korea (if the license was awarded after
1997), Andorra, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Japan, Croatia,
Monaco, San Marino and Switzerland.
Citizens of an EU member country can use the driverÕs
license from their home country.
