Light information before you fly to Austria

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Weather of Arabia -</strong> If you think that schnitzel is the best dish in Austria, you have a lot to learn, my friend. There are more than 100 dishes worth trying in Austria, and there are many things that you should know before <strong>traveling to Austria.</strong></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>1. Sunday is the day of rest</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Austrians take their day off very seriously and most businesses are closed, so try to forget about the consumer lifestyle and enjoy a day without shopping.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>2. Speak in English and try German</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Most Austrians speak English as it is taught in school, but that doesn&#39;t mean you shouldn&#39;t make a small effort to learn some basic German words as it brings you closer to the locals.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>3. Obedience to the man of the law in Austria</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Austrians obey traffic rules to the point of not turning off even when there are no cars in sight, follow the traffic regulations or you could end up paying a very heavy fine if a policeman spots you.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>4. What is this? Public transportation is free!!?</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> You might think that Austrian public transportation is free because everyone passes and doesn&#39;t pay, but it&#39;s an honor system. So you have to pay, otherwise you will pay a fine of around 80 euros if you are caught without a ticket. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2017/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%A7.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 533px;" /></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>5. There are no hidden fees</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Unlike some countries where taxes are not included in the displayed price, restaurant, convenience store and supermarket menus include prices including taxes, meaning what you see is what you pay.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>6. You can drink water from anywhere</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Austria&#39;s water is ranked among the top 5 best drinking waters in the world, so if you are thirsty you can drink from all the taps even in the bathroom, unless you see a sign that says &quot; <span>Kein Trinkwasser</span> &quot; (the water is not drinkable).</p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>7. Tipping is a thing of the past</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Tipping for services is not at all compulsory, as the waiters here are really well paid and not less than the minimum wage.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>8. Smokers&#39; paradise</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Unfortunately, many Austrians like to smoke, and although restaurants and cafes have designated smoking areas called &quot; <span>Raucherbereiche</span> &quot; it is impossible to be in a smoke-free area.</p>
