6 Things You Should Know
Always Greet People
A friendly "Grüß Gott" or "Guten Tag" is expected — whether in the elevator, at the bakery, or at the office.
Punctuality is a Must
Being late is considered rude. Plan to arrive 5 minutes early rather than on time.
Respect Quiet Hours
Between 10 PM and 6 AM, and on Sundays and holidays, noise should be kept to a minimum — even vacuuming.
Take Recycling Seriously
Austria has strict recycling rules. Paper, plastic, glass, and general waste all go in separate bins.
Keep Cash Handy
Many smaller shops and restaurants still don't accept cards. Always have some cash on you.
Learning German Pays Off
Even though many people speak English — German opens doors and shows respect for the culture.
Why Integration Matters
Those who integrate find friends faster, feel more secure, and have better career opportunities. Integration isn't a one-way street — Austria benefits just as much from your skills and culture.
