As of today, June 10, Austria faces fewer restrictions. While the curfew for restaurants is being extended to 12 a.m. now, even fewer restrictions will be in place in July. Read more about what applies now below.

After months of many strict restrictions that affected the Austrian population and the people living in Austria quite heavily, the summer of 2021 will hopefully be the light at the end of the tunnel.

With July 1, 2021, most of the restrictions will fall, while with today, June 10, the following measures will be valid:
