Bad Ischl

Imperial City in the Salzkammergut
Imperial City in the Salzkammergut

Emperor Franz Josef I. was known for his good taste. Ultimately, large cities have his beautiful spirit to thank for the fact that they are still today so marvellously imperial. Just like Bad Ischl, the cultural heart of the Salzkammergut.

Emperor Franz Josef I. was known for his good taste. Ultimately, large cities have his beautiful spirit to thank for the fact that they are still today so marvellously imperial. Just like Bad Ischl, the cultural heart of the Salzkammergut.

Bad Ischl is known as a charming small town and as the cultural centre of the Salzkammergut. The pretty alleys invite you to stroll through and enjoy, and while you walk in the footsteps of Emperor Franz Josef, feel yourself immediately transported back in time to the turn of the century. Bad Ischl is also popular as a traditional health resort with a keen sense of the Zeitgeist.

The city has a long history and is characterised as the summer residence of the Imperial Court. For 60 years, Franz Josef came every year to this summer retreat and thus began a tradition which is felt even today in many places. However, you never get the feeling that time has stopped here.
