The most beautiful cities in Austria

Welcome to one of Europe’s most beautiful countries. Austria’s landscapes, regions and townscapes provide almost the full range of European variety in the centre of the continent. Austria is often associated, rightly, with winter sports, but there is so much more on offer. Its alpine areas are rugged and picturesque, but that’s far from being the whole story.

Steyr

The small city at the junction of the Enns and Steyr rivers is one of the most beautiful in a country of beautiful cities.

The late Gothic Bummerlhaus, the Rococo town hall and the intricately decorated Sternhaus are just a few of the many striking buildings in Steyr's historical streetscape. The Blumauerhaus and the connected gateway are adorned in exterior paintings. Schloß Lamberg sits just above the city centre.
