We are considering "doing" Austria in 2009 in our Hymer C640
Can you tell me all the pitfalls related to this.
i.e. Which is the best way to go, what and where is the Go Box, and what is the availablity of Camp Sites, etc. etc.
All input apprecaited.
If you're over 3.5 tonnes, you will need a Go box for the motorways. Expensive see austrian tolls
basically 13c per km (plus the purchase of the unit). Set up for trucks, penalises motorhomes (not quite as much as the London LEZ )

hi carper- I was going by the link, which stated "from" 13c a km, depending on axles. Maybe tag axles are charged more?

I put reviews of 3 campsites we'd recommend in Austria in the database ( at Innsbruck, Vienna and Salzburg)
Things might have changed since last year but we found no non-smoking restaurants or coffee shops which, for us anyway, made eating out unpleasant. We were also a bit surprised to find that there is no ban on smoking in shops or shopping centres so everything you buy- food and clothes- smells of smoke.

Hi
When we got our Go-box in late May, We were given a leaflet with the newly increased prices. I'm not sure what i did with it, but remember 15.9c for 2 axles, and 3 axles a lot more.
I still have the Go-box..perhaps i should try and get a refund on it

Beautiful country though.

Hi
Smoking in restuaurants is still allowed...we even saw smoking on buses.
Found it interesting that you can smoke in some bars in Italy, Germany and France....even where food is served.
It would seem that we are the only country that has introduced a blanket ban
We found the campsites to be very good...especially as quite a few accepted the ACSI Card [MHF Link]

Hi,
this is the current status of non-smoking policy in Germany and Austria:
In both countries smoking in public buildings and public transport vehicles is forbidden under a blanket ban. However, "public buildings" only includes "official" public buildings like gouvernment offices, museums, railway stations etc. but no (private owned) shops.
Regarding smoking in restaurants there is now (since July 2008) in Germany a general ban with some exceptions: Dedicated smoking rooms may be arranged, as long as they are separated from the remaining area by walls and doors. And small cafes/bars which do not have sufficient space to arrange a separate smoking room may declare themselves as "smoker's rooms".
In Austria, however, there is not yet any smoking ban in restaurants.
Best Regards,
Gerhard
