Austria

always consult your foreign office's travel advice section to get
the latest travel advice information. Prior to any trip you should
also talk to your GP and/or visit a travel clinique to find out
about any vaccinations that you should take. Austria is a
mountainous country and mountains can be dangerous. The weather can
change in minutes and you may find yourself 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.. |
