"The cost of living in Austria is relatively high compared to other European countries, but is still lower than most Western countries. Generally, rural areas in Austria have lower living costs than cities and metropolitan areas. In Vienna, the capital, the average rent for a nice 1 bedroom apartment is around 1200 USD per month and for a 2 bedroom apartment it is around 1800 USD per month.
