- as precious as diamonds – offer you their welcome.
The zest and joy of life awakens.
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.
Rust
The smallest chartered town in Austria is famous as the »town of the storks and noble wine«. The picturesque ensemble of lovingly cared for citizens’ houses from the 16th – 19th century is surrounded on one side by the Rust hill-country vineyards and by Lake Neusiedl on the other. The decoration on the brightly coloured Baroque and Renaissance facades give the town its unmistakable character. Romantic inns, wine taverns and restaurants indulge the guests. Time - what does it mean?
