Street View Austria
Austria took longer than its neighbours to allow Street View and the coverage still reflects that. What exists is good, and it stops sooner than you expect once you leave a main road.
City guides
1 written guide for Austria, each with the streets worth walking and the views worth opening.
What the coverage is like
Vienna, Salzburg, Graz and Innsbruck are covered properly, along with the motorway network and the main valley roads.
Side valleys are patchier than in Switzerland or Germany. An alpine road that looks driveable on the map may have no imagery at all, and the blue lines are the only reliable guide.
Where the roads are covered, the mountain scenery is unusually rewarding at street level because the valleys are narrow enough that the peaks fill the frame rather than sitting on the horizon.
Worth opening beyond the city guides
The Grossglockner High Alpine Road, a toll road built in the 1930s that climbs to 2,504 metres in a series of hairpins, all of it driven.
Hallstatt, on a lake shore with almost no flat ground, which is why the village is stacked rather than spread.
The Wachau valley along the Danube between Melk and Krems, terraced for vines since the middle ages.
Innsbruck's approach roads, where a city of 130,000 sits directly under a 2,300-metre wall of rock.

Questions about Street View in Austria
Does Austria have full Street View coverage?
Cities, motorways and main valley roads, yes. Side valleys and smaller alpine routes are often missing. The blue lines on the map are the only reliable indication of where imagery exists.
