Countries that border Austria

8 land neighbours: Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland. Each one has a page of its own.

Liechtenstein borders Austria but is too small for the Europe map to draw as a tap target, so it is not on the map above — it still deals in the capitals and flags games.

Why this one is hard

8 neighbours, and 8 pairs of them border each other too.

2 countries in Europe have more than its 8 land borders; it is the same as France and Turkey. Of the 28 possible pairings among them, 8 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Germany is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Europe map with Austria, and on the world map with everyone else.

Australia is in Oceania, and its capital is Canberra — not Vienna. It has no land borders at all, where Austria has 8.
Slovakia and Slovenia
Both border Austria, and a player who knows the shape can still put one where the other goes. Slovakia's capital is Bratislava; Slovenia's is Ljubljana.
