Time Zones in Austria
Austria is in the Central European Timezone, being one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT +1) in the winter months starting the last Sunday in October, and shifted forward one hour (GMT +2) in the summer months, starting on the last Sunday in March.
In Austria, electricity is supplied at 220 to 230V 50Hz. Power outlets are the European standard CEE-7/7 "Schukostecker" or "Schuko" or the compatible, but non-grounded, CEE-7/16 "Europlug".
Generally, travelers from countries using 230V 50Hz which use different plugs simply require a plug adaptor to use their appliances in Austria, which are available from electrical and "do-it-yourself" stores. Multi adaptors can also usually be found at airports or travel shops.
