Vienna is a beautiful city. But on Monday the home of the Sacher torta (well sorry but I like my pastries) will be swarming with football fans.

It is estimated some 200.000 fans will descend on Vienna for the Austria – Germany match. 40.000 Germans are expected and the police will try to detain any known trouble makers at the borders. The Austrian police has so far managed to squash any signs of unruly conduct quite successfully.

But what makes this even trickier is some 28.000 Croatians and 15.000 Poles are expected in Klagenfurt for the Croatia – Poland game.

And you dont want to mess about with Austrian police. All of those who took their camper vans to the Euro and were caught sleeping in the car were fined with €500 (about $770).

And in case you really, really have to go better find that portable toilet quick – public urination is fined up to €5000 ($7700). Now thats what I call expensive potty break.
