SWITCH OFF AND RELAX
This is a town where history was written, and its magic is felt by every visitor as they arrive here. Here is a place which allows you, and indeed encourages you, to relax, switch off, and recharge your batteries. The Eurotherm thermal baths are one of the best known spa complexes in Austria. The imperial history of the town is present in every step you take. The age-old healing methods at the thermal baths have been consistently developed over centuries; it’s time to dive in.
CULTURE, MUSIC AND SPORT
Not only a place to relax and recuperate, Bad Ischl also offers countless cultural, musical and sporting opportunities. The Kaiservilla, once the imperial summer residence of Emperor Franz and his infamous wife Sissi, the Bad Ischl museum and the Lehar Villa are all integral stops on a sightseeing tour of the town.
