Driving tips for Wien-Schwechat
Here are a few tips on how to make the most of your visit to Wien-Schwechat and avoid any unexpected hassles while driving:
- Driving on the opposite side: In Austria, you'll have to drive on the right-hand side of the road. It's a good idea to opt for automatic transmission with your Wien-Schwechat car hire, so you don't have to worry about changing gear with the ""wrong"" hand.
- Trams rule the road: Trams are a very common form of public transport here, and they always have the right of way. It's illegal to block a tram or tramway, and when you're behind a tram with embarking or disembarking passengers, you must stop and wait for it to move off again.
- Pay attention to pedestrian zones: Pedestrianised areas are signposted with a diagonal line over a blue circle. Parking here is limited to three hours at a time. Also, note that it's illegal to park in a direction that faces oncoming traffic.
