🇺🇸🤷🛂😱 American citizens! Are you ready to visit Austria and travel through Europe for your summer adventure? You are in for a treat!

At the same time, be aware: Passports regularly get lost or stolen on trains or are forgotten in shops and restaurants. Don’t let this happen to you!

What can you do to keep your passport safe?

✅ Keep your passport on you, not in a bag. Use a pocket with a zipper or closure, or a pouch you can hide under your clothes. Do not put passports in outer pockets or other easily accessible places.

✅ Be vigilant with your bags. Always keep them within eyesight and reach.

✅ Check your surroundings. If something feels suspicious, collect your belongings and remove yourself from the situation.

✅ Wear your backpack or bag in front of you in busy or unsafe areas.

If you do lose your passport, we’ve got you—follow these instructions for applying for an emergency passport (https://at.usembassy.gov/emergency-passport/) and we’ll try to get you on the road again as soon as possible.

Stay safe and enjoy your travels!

🇺🇸2️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ Did you know that the American Writer Mark Twain, famous for his works such as the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, spent 20 months in Vienna, Austria from 1897 to 1899?

The New York Times even reported on the departure of the popular writer: “Mark Twain has left Vienna after a twenty months' stay, and no other town has ever seen him depart with more regret. He had become well known to everyone. Wherever there was a festivity or something interesting to be seen or heard the famous humorist was to be found. There are few persons here of any importance whose acquaintance he did not make. A farewell audience was quickly granted by his Majesty Francis Joseph. Mr. Clemens had expected to be received on the ordinary audience day, and his surprise was great when he was informed that he would be received in private audience.”

On July 4, 2026, our nation will commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation and beyond.

Make sure you are following us on our social media channels and join us to celebrate in the lead up July 4, 2026.
