Austria is a safe, well-organized destination with high tourist volume, especially in Vienna, Salzburg, and Innsbruck. Public transport is reliable and honest, but watch for overpriced unlicensed taxis at airports and stations. The biggest practical risks are small-scale: bill padding, exchange booth rates, and tourist-menu markups.

Kaip tai veikia: Drivers approach travelers inside the arrivals hall offering rides at inflated flat rates without a meter. They are not licensed Vienna taxis and fares can double or triple the official rate.
Kaip to išvengti: Walk to the official taxi rank outside the terminal and take a licensed vehicle with a roof sign and meter.
Kaip tai veikia: Some restaurants near main squares and landmarks show menus in English with higher prices or add an undisclosed service surcharge to the bill for tourists.
Kaip to išvengti: Check the menu prices before sitting down and confirm the final bill includes no surprise additions.
Kaip tai veikia: Currency exchange counters near tourist landmarks advertise no commission but give poor conversion rates, plus fees on top, losing travelers 5-15% per trade.
Kaip to išvengti: Use bank ATMs for cash or pay by card. If exchanging, compare the rate on Google against the booth's displayed rate first.
Kaip tai veikia: Groups or individuals create a distraction (dropping items, asking for directions, bumping into you) while a partner lifts your wallet or phone from a bag or pocket.
Kaip to išvengti: Keep bags zipped and in front of your body. Do not stop for unsolicited help with directions or dropped items in crowded areas.
Kaip tai veikia: Some bars add extra items or higher prices to the bill, especially after busy evenings, counting on tourists not checking line by line.
Kaip to išvengti: Review the itemized bill carefully and ask for a corrected version if charges look wrong.
Kaip tai veikia: People with clipboards ask you to sign a petition or support a fake charity, then demand cash or a donation minimum, sometimes while an accomplice picks your pocket.
Kaip to išvengti: Politely decline and keep walking. Do not engage or reach for your wallet near them.
Kaip tai veikia: Resellers outside concert halls and opera houses sell overpriced or counterfeit tickets for popular performances like the Vienna Opera and Salzburg Festival.
Kaip to išvengti: Buy only from the official box office or the venue's official website. Ignore street sellers.
Kaip tai veikia: People posing as ticket inspectors approach tourists and demand an on-the-spot fine, accepting cash to 'settle' the matter.
Kaip to išvengti: Real inspectors wear official uniforms with badges. Ask for identification and never pay cash; fines are processed by official channels or at transit offices.

Vienna International Airport (VIE)
Tinkama taksi kaina (oficiali, dieną): 35 € - 45 €. Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals. Confirm the meter is running or agree a fixed daytime fare before departing. Unlicensed drivers may approach inside the terminal; decline them.
Geriausia alternatyva: CAT (City Airport Train) to Wien Mitte (15 €, apie 16 min)
Arbatpinigiai: Round up the bill and leave 5-10% for good service in restaurants and cafes. Tipping in taxis is modest, usually rounding up to the nearest euro. No tipping expected in fast food or self-service places.
Vietos ir aptarnavimo mokesčiai: Service is included in menu prices (Bedienung). No cover charge is standard. Some tourist-area restaurants mark up menu prices or show prices excluding a service surcharge; always check the menu before ordering and confirm prices if unclear.
Always choose to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion at ATMs and card terminals. Prefer bank-attached ATMs over independent ones. Some non-bank ATM brands in tourist areas charge high withdrawal fees; check the screen fee disclosure before confirming.
