Coming from the UK, where mask mandates on public transport, stores, and restaurants have largely eased, I was surprised to learn Austria was still really strict when it came to wearing masks.
In St. Anton and Lech, everyone was required to wear FFP2 masks in hotels, restaurants, and on chairlifts, even though they were technically outside. I spent 2.95 euros, or around $3.20, on a pack of masks to wear throughout the week.
Although Austria has since relaxed some of its COVID-19 restrictions, the BBC reports that masks are still needed in "essential shops" and on public transport.
