Tourism and leisure travel are returning: restaurants, hotels, and recreation facilities in Austria are open again, and we are looking forward to welcoming you.

For your protection, special measures will be in place this summer. Standard face masks (cloth masks) masks are required on public transport and in stations, in museums, and on cable cars. Austria is world-leading in the number of administered COVID tests. Employees in the tourism industry are regularly tested, and our guests are able to take advantage of our testing infrastructure as well.

For leisure facilities such as restaurants, cinemas, or theatres where large numbers of people congregate, a so-called "entry test" will be required. You will need to show proof of a negative COVID test, full vaccination, or a past infection.

Austria is one of the first European countries to have developed its own app that helps identify chains of infection and break them. The app adheres to the "Privacy-Preserving Contact Tracing" guidelines, meaning that chains of infection can be broken whilst maintaining privacy.

You can download the app from the App Store or Play Store regardless of whether you live in Austria or not.
