Which advice would you give basing on your experiences and your homeland?
If you have not been to a country before, find a guide book that gives you some background on the customs, manners and local know-how so that you do not offend your hosts unintentionally and so that you will not encounter unpleasant surprises and situations that could have been avoided with a little fore knowledge.
It can't hurt to carry a small phrase book so that you can point to questions in it if you encounter someone who does not speak your language.
You have to be a bit more specific. Do you mean manners, habits, culture, things to see, what to do or what not to do? This could be a good thread if you open up your point a bit.
- Don't buy concert tickets from the guys that wear baroque costumes. Overpriced and mediocre at best.
- Avoid Cafe Central, Cafe Sacher or Cafe Griensteidl. Go to Demel, Cafe Diglas, Cafe Alt Wien, Cafe Rüdigerhof, Kleines Cafe or Cafe Ritter. More locals, less tourists.
- Don't use the City Airport Train (CAT) from the airport to the city. There is a standard regional train (taking the same route) which is considerably cheaper.
- Don't buy tickets for the tourist tram around the "Ring". Use tram lines 1 and 2 instead. They cover the same route. 7€ saved.
- The "Heurigen" in Nussdorf are better than those in Grinzing. And cheaper.
- Don't buy any Mozart sweets in a specialized shop. Just go into a regular supermarket.

Everything honestly.
More concerned on habits, cultural faux pas, culture and what to do/not to do,something you can hardly find on guides.
Like Viribus did.
