A marker pin sits at the country’s approximate geographic centre; drag the map or use scroll and pinch to move from a regional overview down to the streets of Vienna. The map is drawn from OpenStreetMap data, the same open dataset used across this site, so place names, roads and coastlines stay consistent from one country to the next.

Austria lies about 5,254 km from the equator, in the northern and eastern hemispheres of the globe. As a landlocked country, every direction from its borders leads onto neighbouring land rather than the open sea.

Austria keeps a single standard time zone, UTC+01:00. That figure is the country’s offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the modern reference that for everyday purposes matches Greenwich Mean Time, so local clocks sit +01:00 relative to UTC before any seasonal daylight saving change.

The official currency is the Euro (EUR, €).

The official language is German, which is what appears on signs, documents and many of the place labels you will see on the map.

For practical reference, vehicles drive on the right-hand side of the road, the international dialling code is +43 and websites commonly use the .at internet domain.
