Plastic Money
Plastic is by far the most convenient way to carry your money. You can pay with plastic in more upmarket hotels, shops and restaurants, but more usefully you can draw cash out on your card. Most towns in Austria have banks with English-language ATMs (cash machines or bankomats) which accept foreign debit and credit cards. Look out for branches of Bank Austria, Creditanstalt or Die erste Bank, and make sure you have a PIN number for your card. The daily limit for taking cash out of a bankomat is oS5000/?363.36. As usual, charge cards such as Amex and Diners are not as widely accepted as debit/credit cards, and tend to be restricted to top-end purchases. If you have an Australian or New Zealand key or debit card, arrange for Cirrus, Plus or Maestro withdrawal facilities to be added before you leave home. You will be charged for withdrawing cash but the rates compare favourably
