Vignettes for driving from Czechia to Austria
Prague–Vienna runs on the Czech D1/D2 and then Austrian motorways from the Mikulov–Drasenhofen crossing. Both countries charge by vignette, so you need a Czech dálniční známka for the domestic leg and an Austrian one from the border. For a long weekend the ten-day product covers either direction.

Driving from Czechia to Austria
Roughly 330 km and about 3:30 of driving, excluding stops.
Along the way
Prague to Vienna is short enough to do before lunch, and the border at Mikulov sits in the middle of Moravian wine country. Both countries charge by vignette, so there are no booths anywhere on the route. Vienna's Park-and-Ride sites on the U-Bahn are usually cheaper than an hour of city parking.
What the vignettes do not cover
Both vignettes cover the whole Prague–Vienna run. Separate route tolls only begin further south, on the A10 Tauern route or the Brenner.
