Driving in Vienna and its surroundings

Are you going to Vienna by private or business car?

From 1. 1. 2016, a restriction applies to vehicles in categories N1, N2 and N3, allowing entry only to cars falling under the EURO 3 emissions class and above. Entrance to the low-emissions zone of Vienna thus requires that the coloured “Pickerl” plaque be affixed to the windscreen. This plaque states the emissions class. Breach of duty is severely punished - the fine may go up to 2,180 euros.

The low-emissions zone of Vienna is valid throughout the capital, in an area of 415 km² with 1.8 million inhabitants.
