In Austria, you can explore the country's rich historical and cultural offerings, such as museums, music festivals, historical monuments, and local cuisine. However, it is important to respect the local customs and traditions of this country.

Newsbytesapp.com has prepared some common travel mistakes to avoid when traveling to Austria. Thanks to the tips, your trip will be comfortable and relaxing.

Never confuse Austria with Germany

Although Austria and Germany share some similarities in culture, history and language, they are two separate countries with distinct identities.

The language, culture, and food can be quite different from German, and Austrians will not be very happy if you confuse the two.

Don't ask if they wear Lederhosen

Lederhosen are traditional clothing associated with certain regions of Austria, but they are not worn by everyone in the country, especially not on a daily basis.

By asking this question, you may be supporting a stereotype and making assumptions about Austrian culture. This can be seen as disrespectful or offensive.

Don't only eat schnitzel and Sacher cake

Although schnitzel and Sacher cake are delicious Austrian dishes that are well known all over the world, you should not only eat these dishes when visiting Austria.

Austria has a diverse culinary scene with interesting traditional dishes and international cuisine. Don't miss the Käsekrainer or Knödel, dumplings made of bread or potatoes, at the street food stalls.

Don't ignore public transportation

Austria has a well-developed, efficient and reliable public transportation system. Trains, buses and trams connect many cities and towns on a regular schedule.

You should use public transportation rather than relying solely on taxis or rental cars, which can be expensive and cause traffic jams. You can also save a lot of money by using public transportation.

Don't start eating until the host says "Guten Appetit"

When dining, wait until everyone is seated before you start eating and keep your hands on the table where they can be seen.

Do not start eating until the host says: "Guten Appetit". This shows respect and appreciation for the host and the food being served. It is also customary to say "Danke, gleichfalls" (Thank you, you too).
