San Marino passport holders can access Schengen countries including Austria without a visa for short stays. Austria offers world-class culture from the Vienna State Opera to Salzburg's Mozart heritage.
How to Get There
San Marino is easily accessed from Italy, and connecting to Austria typically involves trains from Venice or Rome to Vienna. Austria borders Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. Schengen freedom of movement applies throughout.

Austria uses the Euro (EUR). ATMs are widely available. Credit cards are broadly accepted. Some rural and traditional establishments prefer cash. San Marino also uses the Euro, so there is no currency exchange needed.
