Most visa-exempt travellers can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa, and non-EU nationals should be ready to show return travel and accommodation details at the border.

What every traveller needs to know

A valid passport is required for entry — EU/EEA/Swiss nationals may travel on a national ID card instead, but other visitors need a full passport valid for their stay.
Visa-exempt visitors can stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period; time spent in other Schengen countries counts towards this limit.
No vaccinations are required to enter Austria.
Visa-exempt visitors can drive in Austria on their national driving licence for the length of their stay; an International Driving Permit is recommended alongside an older paper licence.
Austria requires a motorway vignette for all motorways, with a separate toll on the A13 Brenner motorway on top of it; winter tyres are required in wintry conditions from 1 November to 15 April — this is enforced, not just advice for renters.

Always verify current entry requirements on the official Austrian Federal Ministry (bmeia.gv.at) or your national consulate before booking flights — Schengen rules can change.
