Welcome to Austria - Welcome at the IMC FH Krems
Dear students,
We are very pleased that you
have chosen the IMC FH
Krems as your partner in education either for a full degree
programme or an exchange
period. After some exciting
preparations (on your and our
part) we are delighted to finally welcome you to our University of Applied Sciences.
Piaristengasse © IMC FH Krems
Campus © IMC FH Krems
With the great support of
“Students for Students” and
our many dedicated professors and committed staff in
the various institutes and departments we are convinced
that your study time in Krems
will be a most profitable academic and personal experience.
May this “Survival Guide” become your practical “roadmap” to enjoy Krems and
Austria on your path to your
“final destination”, i. e. achieving your targeted learning
outcomes and qualifications as
well as gaining new horizons
and making friends for life.
Take care and “viel Erfolg

Students for Students –
Connecting students at the IMC FH Krems
The main purpose of
our community is to
enhance the positive climate among students at
the IMC FH Krems and
to extend possibilities
for interaction between
students.
(SfS) is a non-politica,l
dynamic
community,
open to all people interested in active cooperation.
One of the most important tasks of SfS is
the integration of exchange students arriving
at the IMC FH Krems.
As most of the members of this community
have spent at least one
semester studying ab-
road they know about
problems occurring during this time and are
looking forward to help
our new colleagues in
dealing with them. SfS
sees itself as a partner
of all buddies to support them in making the
exchange students time
a special one.
Furthermore SfS represents a bridging link.
We are working on
more interaction between colleagues of different study programs
to support further
companionship of students.
Therefore Students for
Students is organizing
events, activities and
meetings to connect
students sharing the
same interests and giving them an opportunity to be part of a
permanently growing
community.
We believe that studies
are a special time of our
lives and that this time
should be spent consciously and with as
many good experiences
as possible.
So, let’s spend a good
time together!

Austrian Student Union - ÖH
First of all the Austrian student union would like to
welcome you in Austria!
The student union in
Austria is called “Österreichische HochschülerInnenschaft“,
short
“ÖH“, and is managed
voluntarily by students
from all over the country. National Austrian
law regulates our students’ representation
and the membership is
compulsory at all higher
education institutions.
Thus, ÖH represents
over 250.000 students
in Austria, including exchange students that
only
spend
one
term/year in our country.
Students at universities
of applied sciences called “Fachhochschulen”
have also been represented by ÖH since
8
December 2007. At the
moment we are focusing our energy on building up an excellent
local representation and
motivating younger students to pick up our
work.
The student union law
requires that every
member pays a membership fee of 16,86
Euro per semester. This
law is also applicable to
incoming students like
you, so we kindly ask
you to do so as well.
Payment is organized by
the university management, so please ask
your respective international coordinator /department about the
details of the procedure.
Your membership fee
includes a liability and
an accident insurance
offered by Allianz Elementar Versicherung
AG, covering almost all
possible cases of accidents and damages during and around your
university activities.
The Austrian student
union is also offering an
advisory service to students regarding legal,
social and financial matters. For further information on services,
please do not hesitate
to contact us by mail.
We wish you a pleasant
stay in Austria and an interesting study term.

Libraries
You might need a library for writing your papers, studying or solving case studies. Unfortunately the library in Krems is not that big so it is quite likely that
you need books from Vienna as well. Here you get
all the information you need concerning the two
most important libraries for your studies.
Krems
The library is situated at
the Campus. It is possible for IMC students to
borrow up to five
books for two weeks.
All you need to bring is
your IMC student ID.
There is also a reading
room and special study
rooms with computers
with internet where
you can work on your
tasks. A further possibi-
lity is the interlibrary
loan (Fernleihe). With
this service you can
order almost any book
from any Austrian and
international library.
You may access this service online via the library homepage. The
costs for the interlibrary loan service is
from about 3.50 € per
book to 9.00 €. The
loan period depends on
the sending library and
is from 1 up to 6 weeks.
Further
information
about loan period and
sending costs you will
receive at the library
counter.
Opening hours: Monday 08:30 - 13:00
Tuesday - Friday 08:30 - 21:00
Saturday 10:00 - 14:00
Closed on Sundays and holidays

Libraries
Library at the Campus © IMC FH Krems
Vienna
A library rather close
holding more books at
your disposal is the WU
(Wirtschaftsuniversität)
library in the Vienna
University of Economics
and Business. This library is situated next to
the train stop „Wien
Spittelau“ which can be
reached by direct train
from Krems. To use the
PC work stations and
borrow library material
you will need a library
card.
You can apply for such a
library card at the circulation desk. You need to
bring your IMC student
ID (or a photo ID) AND
your residence registration form (Meldezettel).
Standard opening hours: Monday – Friday: Reading area:
09:00 – 22:00
Loans: 09:00 – 19:00
Info Center: 09:00 – 19:00
Interlibrary loans: 09:00 – 12:00
www.wu.ac.at/library
The library is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, bank
holidays and Christmas. During holidays and Easter
break the library has shortened opening hours.

Sports
Campus Sport offers about 40 different sport programs exclusively to students and staff members of
the IMC Krems and the Danube University Krems.
The whole program is
divided into eight different divisions:
-Gymnastics
-Relaxation
-Ball Games
-Outdoor
-Dance
-Water Sports
-Family Sports
-Martial Arts
Almost every course
within the programs is
supported by professional instructors. The places are limited and
since the demand for
the courses is increasing every semester it is
12
highly recommended to
register as soon as possible. You can register
with the application
form at the office of
Campus Sport during
the office hours as long
as there are vacancies.
The office is situated in
the basement of the
Danube
University
(middle wing L) on the
campus. The prices for
the course vary between 15€ and 60€ depending
on
the
program. For some programs you need to pay
extra charges for ren-
tals. If you take the
“sport package” (3
courses) you get a discount of 10%.
You can find further information on the webpage of the Danube
University under Service / Campus Sports.
The webpage and all the
information are available in English.

Transportation
The public transportation system in Austria is well organized and known for its
reliability. The flip side of this is that many connections stop their service in the
late evening hours. The prices are reasonable and the transportation network
is well developed.
Cabs
Cabs or taxi’s are rather
expensive in Austria. If
you get in a cab, you will
be automatically charged
a start fee.This fee varies
in each city. Also the prices for the kilometer can
be quite different, depending on the taxi company. In general it is a
good advice to negotiate
a fixed price before you
start your journey with
the cab.
Bus
The bus system in Austria is mostly designed
for local transportation.
Therefore buses are not
that interesting for exchange students.
The train offers a more
attractive and good value
alternative to travel in
Austria.
17
Transportation
Flights and airports
The main airport of
Austria is the Vienna international
airport.
From there you will be
able to get a flight to almost every destination
in Europe.The airport is
located to the east of
Vienna in a town called
Schwechat. The best
way to get to the airport is by car. At the
airport you will find sufficient, safe but very expensive parking space.
Also a very popular way
to get to the airport is
by train. Departing from
the Viennese Train Station “Wien Mitte” you
will find the Airport
train called CAT where
you are also able to
check in directly.
The trip by regular train
from Krems to the airport will take you approximately 2 hours
and costs about € 17,60
regular and 8,80 with
the “Vorteilscard” (as of
2/2010). Please note
that you will need to
change trains 2 to 3
times on your way to
18
the airport since there
is no direct connection
from Krems.
Airport Vienna
www.viennaairport.com
In addition to the main
airport in Vienna, the
airports in Linz and
Salzburg are also worth
a look. These smaller
airports in the west
service mostly low-cost
carriers and therefore it
is very likely that you
can catch a good offer.
Both of these airports
are quite easy to reach
with public transportation.
To the airport in Linz
you need to take the
train from Krems to St.
Pölten. From St.Pölten
take a regular train to
Linz central station
(Linz Hbf). From the
central station there is
a shuttle service to the
airport. The trip will
take you approximately
2 ½ hours and will cost
you € 23,60 at the regular price and € 11,80
with the “Vorteilscard”.
Airport Linz
www.flughafen-linz.at/
If you decide to take off
from Salzburg airport,
you will as well need to
take a train from Krems
to St.Pölten. From there
take a regular train to
Salzburg central station
(Salzburg Hbf). At the
central station in Salzburg you need to go to
the bus terminal. From
there shuttle busses depart for the airport.
The trip will take you
approximately 3 to 4
hours and will cost you
€ 38,70 at the regular
price and € 19,40 with
the “Vorteilscard”.
Airport Salzburg

Transportation
Train
The train will be very likely the most frequent
transportation possibility on your travels
through Austria. Taking
the train to discover
Austria is a very popular
thing among exchange
students. You can enjoy
the beautiful landscape,
and that the prices are
quite moderate. Sometimes you even might be
lucky to catch some
special offers, such as
City trips e.g. to Venice,
Florence or Munich for
€ 29. The train also represents one of the best
possibilities to get to
airports of Austria.
slava or Budapest. Of
course all interesting cities in Austria such as
Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck or Graz are also
quite easy to reach by
train from Krems. To
plan your trip, please
visit the official site of
the Austrian Federal
Railways This site is of
course also available in
English.
ÖBB
www.oebb.at
In general Krems is a
good starting point for
trips to Prague, BratiSfS Insider
Get as soon as possible
the “ÖBB Vorteilscard
under 26”. This discount card was designed especially for
students and will help
you to save a lot of
money.You just need to
go to the train station
and ask for a form.
Please also bring a
passport picture with
you. The picture is necessary for the application form. The card
itself will cost you
about € 20, but if you
just go to Vienna twice,
you already saved that!

Finances
Currency
The currency in Austria
is the Euro. The Euro is
the official currency of
22 European states (16
member states plus 6 EU
countries).
It was introduced in
1999 and became the official currency in 2002.
Besides the Dollar the
Euro is the most important currency in the
world.
SfS Insider
Student accounts are
usually for free. Furthermore most banks
offer special assistance for international
students.
Banks
Krems itself has many
banks.The city houses 9
banks (with 23 branches) of many different
locations (also with
ATMs) throughout the
city.
In Austria paying cash is
still very popular. Credit
Cards are rarely used
and most of the shops
usually don’t accept
them due to high costs
for the shop itself. Nevertheless Austrians do
use debit cards. Debit
cards are plastic cards
which are linked to a
debit account (“Girokonto”) at an Austrian
bank and can be used in
nearly any shop (also to
withdraw money at
ATMs). This gives you a
better cost control than
20
paying with a credit card
with a higher withdrawal limit.
Paying abroad with
those debit cards is usually possible as they support maestro card
functions (if you find the
“maestro”-symbol on
your card it is valid to
withdraw money in foreign countries). Therefore you can use them
to withdraw money in
other countries (additional costs apply here).
Nevertheless
you
should contact your
bank advisor for more
detailed information as
those might vary from
bank to bank.
Finances
Saving accounts (“Sparbuch”) is a very popular
way of saving in Austria
which offers the customer a safe investment of
moderate interest rates.
Investment in funds or
shares is not as common as in other countries. Saving accounts for
exchange students who
stay in Austria for 1 or 2
semesters are not very
useful. Therefore a checking account is sufficient.
Studying in Krems will
quite likely require an
account at a local bank.
Choosing a bank is not
a crucial issue. Most
banks are offering equal
services also due to minimum regulations from
the state. Application
processes for getting an
account are similar as
well. Usually you have to
provide the following information:
-A valid Passport
-A valid address in
Krems
SfS Insider
Withdrawing money
is free of charge in
Austria. Requirement
is an Austrian bank
account.
Most banks have no
cancelation period for
students. Nevertheless
overdrawing an account
is usually not possible.

Payment slips / Zahlscheine
Not relevant in many
countries the payment
slip or also called “Zahlschein” survived in Austria. During your stay in
Austria you might be
confronted with this
payment method several times.
You will get this slip for
example when you get
an invoice for a magazine-subscription. Then
22
you fill out your name,
address, account number as well as the BLZ
(bank code) of you and
the 2nd party as well as
the amount you want to
pay. This might be unusual for some international students.
Imagine: Mario Berger
wants to transfer €200
(for the rent December) on Florian Rinnofner’s bank account. The
slip would look like this:
The red slip is more
imprtant. The blue slip
will stay in your posession.

Prices for parcels usually include a basic fee

Finances
Some (more) important information regarding money.
Cost of renting a
room
Rooms are a rare thing
in Krems. Even though
more and more students come to Krems
the city resists in building new homes.Therefore apartment prices in
Krems are rather high.
For a small room you
may have to pay between 180 and 300 €.
The earlier you look
the higher the chance of
getting a decent and affordable room with nice
flat mates.
Cost of renting an
apartment
As rare as rooms are
apartments. A 70 m²
24
apartment can be rented for 550 € +, 33m²
for 300 € +. To get a
cheap and nice apartment careful and especially early searches are
recommended.
Stik
www.stik.at
A student meal
A meal in the cafeteria
“Mensa” is available for
around 4 Euros. Meals
in restaurants are usually between € 5-7.
Students vary in their
weekly expenditures.
There are ways of spending less and of course
there are ways of spending more. If you want
to save money it is su-
rely possible to live on
around 40 € a week.
Nevertheless this just
includes food. To be on
the safe side calculate
around 80 € + if you
are used to 3 meals a
day.
Additional costs may
apply when you go to
movies, restaurants and
more.You should consider those study and leisure expenditures in
your budget.
Finances
How to tip
Compared to many
other states (like in the
USA) waiters get at
least a minimum wage.
Therefore tips in Austria usually lie around
5% of the total amount.
Also many Austrians
just round up to the
next higher amount
(instead of 9.70 € they
just round up to 10 €).
Where to tip
Tipping in restaurants,
bars or in service areas
in general is very common. Tipping after grocery shopping on the
other hand is very unusual. Also in other
shops (eg. buying shoes,
clothing or electronics)
giving tip is not common and usually raises
“weird looks”.
Paying on time
As mentioned before in
the Survival Guide Austrians are people who
are very into punctua-
lity. This fact can also be
seen at the paying discipline. Paying on time is a
common practice.
Period of Payment
The period of payments
in Austria varies from
occasion to occasion. A
specific deadline is usually given in the invoice
(if applicable) or in any
other
confirmation.
Average and also very
popular periods are 2
or 3 weeks.

Insurance
ÖH Insurance
With your membership
fee of 17.50 € for the
National
students
union, which is mandatory for all students in
Austria including incoming students, a liability
and accident insurance
by Allianz Elementar
Versicherung AG is included, which covers almost
all
possible
accidents and injuries
during and in connection with your university activities. For
more details, please
contact the local students union (ÖH).
Health Insurance
Health insurance is generally required by the
IMC and the state of
Austria. Therefore all
the students travel to
Krems with a fully acknowledged health insurance. Nevertheless,
especially when you are
from outside the EU, an
additional private health
insurance which covers
all aspects your national
insurance does not support might be a good
solution should you
ever have an insurance
case. Therefore consulting one of the big insurance
agencies
in
Austria after you arrive
would be an option.
Household Insurance
Household insurances
are a way of ensuring,
that you and your possible flat/roommates are
coverd when actions
occur like fire, water damage, burglary and
more. Austrian insurance agencies also
offer special student insurances which usually
cover most common
causes of household accidents at a low
monthly rate.
27
Insurance
Accident Insurance
A temporary accident
insurance while you stay
in Austria would also be
an option.With such insurance you are on the
safe side when you get
into an accident while
traveling in and around
Austria (this should be
explicitly discussed with
the agent). Accident insurances can often be
purchased in combination with household insurances at a special
student price.
Also most banks offer
insurances in cooperation with other large
28
agencies.
Therefore
please contact your
bank advisor for further
information.
Insurance Data
If you decide for an additional insurance usually the following data is
necessary:
−Name
−Date of birth
−Address
Just to make sure every
data is available please
take your passport as
well as information
about your apartment
(address/Meldezettel)
with you.
Healthcare
Doctors
The Austrian health system as in any other state
in the world can be a
very complex thing. Nevertheless patients are
treated the same no
matter where they are
from. So if you have an
accident (no matter if in
the kitchen or on the
street) you get the same
professional treatment
as an Austrian. In case of
an accident you do not
have to get back home,
get your passport or ID.
This is not required by
Austrian
emergency
rooms.
For EU-citizens costs will
be covered through the

and contracts are available from different providers. The big players on
the Austrian mobile
phone market are A1, Tmobile,Telering, Drei and
Orange, further there is
a growing number of low
budget providers such as
Yesss and Bob.
The advantage of a big
player is that there is variety of information and
support accessible. You
can easily receive information about the different offers and contracts
through the provider
stores, which are situated in the town center
or in the Bühl Center. To
get overall information
about the different providers visit an electronic
gadget store such as
Hartlauer, Niedermeyer
or Media Markt. These
shops sell all contracts of
the main providers and
help you with information. Please be aware that
the low budget provider
Yesss is only sold via the
low budget retailer
Hofer.
Another important point
to consider is the roaming fee. Probably you
plan to travel through
Europe in your spare
time, be aware that your
Austrian provider will
charge roaming fees for
the service abroad.
The decision between a
contract with a minimum
term of subscription and
a prepaid depends highly
on your requirements.
Just be aware that the
minimum term of agreement is normally about 2
years, therefore the purchase price of the mobile
phone is lower. In case
you choose a long term
contract check if your favored provider offers an
easy contract exit, in
case you leave the country.

your buddy for help.Your

treasures for those who want to discover them. In
this chapter you will find some of those treasures
briefly explained and how you get to them. On your

Major sights
Birthplace of Mozart
The house in Getreidegasse 9 was the living
place of the Mozart family between 1747 and
1773. Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart was born on the
27th of January 1756.The
museum in his birthplace
now hosts precious relics such as the violin that
Mozart used to play
when he was a child, his
concert violin, his Clavichord, portraits, letters
and other memorabilia
of the Mozart family.
Mirabell Palace
This Baroque masterpiece was initially built in
1606. Mirabell Palace
owes its present unassuming appearance to
Peter de Nobile, the

architectural
consultant and director
of the Vienna School of

The Abbey of Melk
If there was any such
thing as a "National
Abbey", the glorious Benedictine monastery of
Melk would be the one
of Austria. In the heart of
the Wachau region in
Lower Austria, Melk was
the centre of the medieval county of Austria. As
an intellectual centre,
Melk’s Annals and the
„Breve chronicon" from
the 12th century are important scriptures for
Austrian history.

The clockworks in the
tower have struck the
hours accurately since
1712. Standing at the romantic landmark of Graz

shape around 1560 and
its characteristic wooden
gallery as a fire station.
Mauthausen

a sharp contrast to the
joyful sightseeing that
you might do elsewhere
in Austria. Mauthausen

City of Innsbruck
Innsbruck has a late medieval city centre. In the
15th century, it was
made a "Residenzstadt",
a centre for representation and administration,
by Emperor Maximilian I.

still the main attraction

The Golden Roof is one
of the most characteristic landmarks in Innsbruck. The Golden Roof
actually is the threestory balcony on the
central plaza at the heart
of the Old Town.The late
Gothic oriels are capped
with 2,738 gold-plated
copper tiles. It was constructed for Emperor
Maximilian I to serve as a
royal box where he
could sit in luxury and
enjoy tournaments in the
square below.
City of Kufstein
Of the many pretty
towns that you will find
nestled in the Tyrolean
44
Alps, Kufstein is among
the prettiest. The most
distinguished spots are
concentrated in the
town centre, so our
sightseeing tour is best
enjoyed through a general stroll around the medieval alleys. The main
square is called "Unterer
Stadtplatz" and nearby
you will find the Dreifaltigkeitskirche or "Church
of the Holy Trinity". Its
base was built in Gothic
style, but it was seriously
extended several times
since the initial construction. Today, it unites
various architectural styles. Alternatively, you can
hike straight up to the
main attraction:The 13th
century (extensively remodeled in the 16th century) fortress of Kufstein
is among the most impressive military buildings of Austria
Good to know
It is always good to know the legal rules of the country that one lives in. Here are some important facts
that you should consider.
Alcohol
Drinking alcohol in Austria is partially legal from
the age of 16. Buying
and drinking “light” liquids like beer and wine
is allowed. Ensuring
identification is a requirement for every shop
which sells alcohol.
Hard drinks like Vodka
(this includes also Alcopops) are legal from the
age of 18.
Smoking
Buying and smoking cigarettes is legal from the
age of 16. Smoking in
bars and restaurants is
basically forbidden. Nevertheless the law
which is less strict than
in other European
countries the smoking
ad offers many possibilities for owners to get
around the smoking regulations.
Therefore
smoking in most bars is
still allowed. Also many
discos allow smoking.
You can buy cigarettes
in tobacconist’s, at every
petrol station and at cigarette machines. At cigarette machines you
can pay with coins and
notes, but you need a
debit card “Maestro”
(prove that you are 16
years old).
Drugs
Drugs are illegal in Austria and are forbidden
by law. Regardless your
home country or status
as international student
everyone who gets
caught with illegal substances will be treated
equally according to the
Austrian law.
SfS Insider
Don’t forget your ID.
Shops which sell alcohol or cigarettes are
required to ask for
some kind of identification. The IMC-Student-ID helps you
here and also gets you
some benefits at some
occasions (e.g. cinema).
45
Good to know
SfS Insider
Vandalism is strictly pursued by Austrian police and will be dealt with according to the Austrian law no matter your nationality.
Cultural Rules/Informal Rules
Greeting
Greeting in Austria is
very common and is
usually used more often
than in other states.
Therefore don’t be surprised to get greeted by
people you have never
seen before even in elevators.
Formality / Informality
Austrians,
especially
elder Austrians are very
sensitive about how you
talk to them. German itself has 2 forms of
“you”. The formal “Sie”
which you usually use
when you first meet or
if the counterpart didn’t
offer you the “Du”46
word yet. “Du” is the
second “You” and is
used for friends or
people you already
know very well.
Titles
Titles in Austria are a
very strange subject.
Young Austrians care
less and less about
them.
Nevertheless
older Austrians (40+)
and especially those
who have honorary titles or are active in the
government love and
furthermore request to
be greeted with their
official title. So never
forget to greet a “Bundesrat”, “Bürgermeister” or a Doctor by
her/his title.
Talking with Austrians
In nearly every culture
there are some things
you better not talk
about. Austrians don’t
like to talk about salaries and politics. The
topic of salary is usually
considered to be rather
personal and Austrians
feel uncomfortable talking about it. Politics itself is not taboo as long
as you don’t ask how
Austrians vote. Austrians consider preference
of parties also rather
personal and don’t want
to be confronted with it
in a discussion.
Good to know
Shopping/Office
Hours
Shopping hours are also
different than in some
other countries. Many
shops close between
noon and 2pm for
lunch. Also most of
them close at 6 pm
while most offices already call it a day at 5
pm. Banks are not open
on weekends. Nevertheless Saturday is the
major shopping day of
the week. Sundays are a
“national
treasure“.
Therefore just restaurants, bars or museums
open on Sundays.
Floors
Don’t be confused
when an Austrian meets
up with you at the 2nd
floor of the Piaristengasse. In Austria unlike
in some other countries
the 2nd floor is actually
the 3rd floor. Why? Because Austrians have a
“Ground Floor” the so
called “Erdgeschoss”
which is the 1st floor of
every building. The
“Austrian” 1st floor is
the floor above the
“Ground floor” – therefore the 2nd floor.
Electricity
Austria’s electronic products are made for 220volt AC, 50HZ, which is
pretty common for
Europe. Nevertheless
Austria uses plug-ins
which might not fit for
you cable in your hometown. Therefore we recommend
buying
adapters for your laptops or other devices
you might want to take
with you.
Credit Cards
Credit Cards are widely
accepted in stores in
Austria. Please look for
the typical signs (e.g.
VISA, MasterCard, ...) or
ask the cashier. In bars
and restaurants it is a
little bit more difficult.
Please ask before your
meal if you can pay with
Credit Card. Please also
always control your deduction. If you need to
inactivate your card,
please have a look at
chapter
“Important
phone numbers”, where
you can find your emergency number.

Krems an der Donau is
the eastern gateway to
the Wachau Valley, one
of Europe‘s loveliest
river landscapes. It is
also one of the oldest
cities of the country.
This history dating back
more than a thousand
years is evident everywhere - in the streets and
squares, in the old monasteries and churches,
in the town houses and
fortifications.
The historical center of
Krems is one of the
most
beautiful
in
Europe. Over the centuries, builders and architects have created a
unique cityscape that
has been cared for and
preserved.These efforts
50
have not gone unnoticed. In 1975 Krems was
singled out as a „Model
City for Historical Preservation“ and in 2000
it was added to the
UNESCO World Heritage List. With all this
history, you might think
that the city is dominated by the past. In reality, Krems is very open
to modern life: Contemporary art and culture
play an important role
here, adding variety and
energy to public areas
throughout the city.

Short remark
Due to the heavy
amount of information
that we actually could
post here about every
city, town area and so
forth we decided to keep
our focus on Krems and
Vienna.
If you really want to get
into it and want to explore even the smallest
part of this country it is
probably a good idea to
go for a professional
guide like „The Lonely
Planet“.
What we provided you
with were simply some
most important and in
our view really good and
nice spots that you actually should see while beeing here.
Of course if you have any
questions feel free to
contact us at any time!
