Austria's Geographic Position
Austria occupies a central position in Europe and shares borders with Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Czechia. Drivers entering from any of these countries will typically encounter vignette-obligated motorway sections shortly after crossing the border.
For drivers arriving from further afield — such as the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, or the Balkans — the journey to Austria may involve transit through several countries. Our guides focus specifically on the Austrian portion of such journeys. Read our full Austrian vignette guide to prepare for your trip.
