Austria Postal Codes
If you are filling out an Austria address, use the four-digit postal code that belongs to the town or city area, not a made-up five-digit ZIP code. Austria uses 4-digit postal codes, and they are normally written before the locality name. So if a form is asking for a ZIP code, it still wants the Austrian postal code, just in a different label.
A realistic central Vienna address would look like this: Kärntner Straße 12, 1010 Wien, Austria. For central Vienna, 1010 is the one people most often associate with the inner city. But that does not mean all of Vienna is 1010. A nearby-looking address can easily be 1020, 1030, 1040, or another Vienna district code, so the district or exact address matters.
A soft way to read Austrian codes is that 1xxx usually points to Vienna, 2xxx and 3xxx to Lower Austria areas, 4xxx to Upper Austria, 5xxx around Salzburg and nearby western areas, 6xxx to Tyrol and Vorarlberg, 7xxx to Burgenland, 8xxx to Styria, and 9xxx to Carinthia and East Tyrol. That is useful for spotting obvious mistakes, but it is not a street-level rule.
The UPU addressing information for Austria says the postcode has 4 digits and is placed to the left of the locality name, so “1010 Wien” is the kind of format you want, not “Wien 1010.” Austria’s own postal operator, Österreichische Post, is also the best practical place to check an exact PLZ when the address is important.
For normal delivery, do not choose 1010 just because the destination is “Vienna.” Use the district code that comes with the street address. If you only know the city and the form forces a code, look up the PLZ first; Austria is strict enough that a wrong 4-digit code can send the address to the wrong delivery area.
