Questions about these Austria pictures
Can I use these Austria pictures for free?
Yes, for personal and commercial projects. All we ask is a link back to BigFoto.com; the box at the top of the page has a credit link you can copy.
Are Hallstatt and the Alps in these photos?
No. Our Austria photos come from Vienna, Salzburg, Graz and the Danube valley. The Alps appear only far behind Salzburg; there are no photos of Hallstatt or Innsbruck yet.
Can I use them as an Austria wallpaper?
Yes, on a phone or tablet, and on a laptop if you don’t mind a slightly soft picture: the originals are about 1200 pixels wide. Salzburg across the river, the Wachau vineyards and Schönbrunn leave the most room for icons.
