Austria's Central European Position
Austria is located at the heart of Central Europe and shares borders with Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Czechia. Its motorway network serves as a critical transit corridor for road traffic moving between Northern, Southern, and Eastern Europe.
Drivers entering Austria from any of its eight neighbouring countries will typically encounter vignette-obligated motorway sections within a short distance of the border. For drivers arriving from more distant countries — such as the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, or the Balkans — the journey to Austria may involve transit through several other countries, each with its own road regulations. Our guides focus specifically on the Austrian segment of such journeys. Visit our main vignette guide to begin your preparation.
