Small historic towns

We offer you our welcome.

You will still find here what many of us have already lost: more time for a chat, more sensitivity for the little things in life and more pleasure in enjoying some of the joys that life gives to us. 18 Small Historic Towns hidden all over Austria like special gems allow you to participate in history and ambiance, pleasures of the table and very special hospitality, far from all hectic rush and the noise of the city.

You will experience the past at every step on the trail of the Romans, Turks and Habsburgs. It begins with the traditional Austrian coffee house, including the famous cuisine of the former multiple-nation state and continues to the cultures and traditions that are still alive today.

Each season has its own special appeal in the Small Historic Towns. Whether you stay for a weekend in a town, plan a small trip through various towns, discover the marvellous lake and mountain scenery nearby, you will find entertainment everywhere. We have collected valuable information for you on this site, especially hotel recommendations and interesting packages.

We wish you a great deal of fun and enjoyment in discovery, and extend a heartfelt welcome to the Small Historic Towns to you.

Our recommendation

Baden bei Wien

A certain gottlieb Biedermeier – in his capacity of invented literary figure – lent his name to an entire epoch and is considered the epitome of this era, its people and lifestyle.

Baden bei wien is Biedermeier through and through and a nostalgic place. Zest for life, entertainment and fun are the dominating forces; the town hosts the biggest casino of central europe, a modern roman spa and an operetta theatre renowned far beyond Austria’s borders.

Wine, culture, roses, golf, health, games and conferences – that’s life in Baden bei wien!

Austria Classic Tour

Marvellous views as far as the eye can see! Whether you are driving across high mountains or through the steppes of Burgenland.
