Major credit cards, such as Visa Card, Euro Card, Diners Club and Mastercard, are accepted in cities and tourist centers by numerous hotels, restaurants, shops and gas stations. If and which credit cards are accepted is indicated by the logos displayed on the exterior facade of the respective business (usually on the entrance door).

However, a surprising number of Upper Austrian shops and restaurants refuse to accept any credit cards but Bankomats (ATMs) are extremely common in Austria, even in small villages: You can withdraw cash from credit and debit accounts 24 hours a day.
