Not just fees

What price hammers are in store for the Viennese

After a roaring New Year's Eve comes the hangover. At least in your wallet. The City of Vienna is raising municipal fees. But a much harsher increase is lurking elsewhere. 

Waste collection, water, sewerage and parking will be more expensive from January. The municipality is increasing municipal fees by 5.9 percent. According to town hall calculations, a family household (90 square meters) will pay almost 38 euros more per year. Singles will have to pay around 16 euros more per year.
