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. |
