Well that depends. If you're wondering whether Austria is a dangerous country: the simple answer is no. Although there can be occasional issues like anywhere, it is a very safe country. One bad thing can be the welcome you receive from the Austrian themselves. They can come across as a little cold and close-minded, but usually it's not much of an issue. The worst nasty people will do to you is probably sneer. If you don't speak German, then that could be an issue outside of Vienna or other big towns, and they're often unwilling to make the effort to understand you. That can be a bit grinding. Other than that, I don't really think there's all that much that would make anyone recoil in horror. Think positive! Think Schnitzel, fries and chocolate cake!

There really is nothing "bad" about it. It's the same as living in Canada or the US. Canada might be perhaps a bit more open minded and liberal. Small town Austria is hard to get into a group, but by and large, they will treat you as you treat them. The weather is like in the northern US or southern Canada, the food is very good, and the country offers a lot to see.
