Vienna, the world capital of music - Schengen visa.

Here are some things to keep in mind when visiting Vienna: 1. Language: • The official language of Austria is German. Although many people speak English, knowing some basic German phrases will make your trip more convenient, such as greetings, thanks, apologies, and other simple expressions. In some traditional or non-tourist areas, you may encounter difficulties communicating in English. • When communicating with locals, avoid sensitive topics such as money, religion, or politics to avoid unnecessary embarrassment or conflict. 2. Time and seasons: • Vienna is in the Eastern European Time Zone, which is 7 hours behind Beijing time. Daylight saving time may be adjusted, so be sure to check the local time before you travel. • Vienna is cold in winter, with temperatures as low as -10°C or lower. If you are traveling in winter, be sure to dress warmly. However, indoor heating is available, so you can wear less indoors. Summer is cooler, but the UV rays are strong on sunny days, so be sure to wear sunscreen. 3. Spending and payment: • Austria is in the Eurozone, so it is necessary to prepare a coin purse in advance, as coins are used for amounts under 2 euros. Some small shops may not accept large bills of 100, 200, or 500 euros, so be sure to exchange some small bills in advance. • When dining in a restaurant, the price usually does not include a tip, so you will need to pay an additional 5% to 10% tip to thank the service staff. • Some restaurants may charge for hot water, so be sure to ask before ordering. 4. Transportation: • Vienna has a well-developed public transportation system, but tickets are checked from time to time. If you are caught without a ticket, you will be fined 100 euros, so be sure to buy and carry a valid ticket. • If you choose to take a taxi, be sure to check if the taxi has a valid operating sign to avoid taking an illegal taxi. 5. Accommodation: • Like most hotels in Europe, hotels in Vienna generally do not provide toiletries such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, and slippers, so you will need to bring your own. • When staying in a hotel, be sure to keep your personal belongings safe and close the doors and windows when you leave the room. 6. Sightseeing: • Vienna has many famous museums, palaces, and other attractions, such as the Hofburg Palace, Schönbrunn Palace, and the Sisi Museum. Be sure to check the opening hours and ticket information in advance and book in advance to avoid delays due to too many tourists. • When visiting religious sites such as St. Stephen's Cathedral, be sure to be quiet and respectful and follow the rules and etiquette of the site. • Some popular attractions in Vienna are crowded, so be sure to keep your belongings safe to avoid theft.
