Never mistake Austria for Germany

While both countries share some similarities, they are two separate countries with distinct identities. Austrians won't be too happy if you get the two confused.

Don't ask if they wear Lederhosen

It is just plain stereotyping! Lederhosen is a traditional clothing item in Austria, but they're not worn by everyone in the country, especially not on a daily basis. 

Don't miss out on their diverse cuisine

While Schnitzel and Sachertorte are delicious Austrian dishes that are well-known around the world, you must not miss out on their other specialties.

Don't ignore public transport

You should consider using public transportation instead of relying solely on taxis or rental cars, which can be expensive and add to traffic congestion.

Don't eat until you hear 'Guten Appetit'

Don't start eating until the host says, "Guten Appetit." This shows respect and appreciation for the host and the food being served.
