Austria’s premier spa towns and scenic spots draw vacation seekers

Austria’s historic spa towns, praised since the era of Empress Sisi, offer a range of therapeutic environments—including healing‑climate resorts, moor and mineral baths, and air‑spa locations—paired with high‑standard hospitality and wellness programs.

Popular leisure destinations highlighted include the warm, turquoise waters of Wörthersee, which evoke a tropical feel; the dramatic canyon‑like scenery of the Ötscher‑Tormäuer nature park; and the sun‑rich Pannonian Plain around the Neusiedler See, known for its savannah‑type landscape, vineyards and around 300 sunny days each year.
