Austria drives on the right side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the right side — so oncoming traffic comes from the left. This is the norm for most of Europe, the Americas, and continental Asia.
Vienna is the world capital of classical music — Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Strauss all lived here. The city's coffeehouse culture is UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
