On Monday (22 November), the country went into lockdown amid a surge of Covid-19 cases. The restrictions are set to last for "a maximum" of 20 days.
Austria’s official travel information portal, Austria.info, said: "A nationwide lockdown is currently in effect in Austria until 13 December at the latest.
"Hotels and other forms of holiday accommodation, restaurants, bars, clubs, cultural institutions and leisure centres are closed.
"Travel to Austria for touristic purposes will therefore only be possible again after this period."
After the end of the current lockdown, the 2-G rule (proof of full vaccination/past infection) will be in effect again as well as FFP2 mask requirements in "many" areas.
From 6 December, two-dose vaccines will be valid for only nine months after the second jab, after which a booster jab will be required.
