ELECTRICITY

Austria has a 220-volt power supply. Electrical sockets take plugs with two round pins; American appliances will need a plug adapter and will require a transformer if they do not have a dual-voltage facility.

RESTROOMS

Public restrooms (Toiletten/WC) are generally easy to find and immaculately clean. A small charge is levied.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Magnificent and varied subject matter awaits the photographer in Austria. Make sure you choose a perspective that will do justice to the architectural masterpieces and narrow city lanes. Away from the city, the Alpine peaks give enormous scope for landscape photography, and the light is generally very good.
