Let the urban air refresh you!

Take a trip or a short break in Lower Austria’s prettiest and most attractive towns and cities: We present a selection of profiles and share an insider tip or two!

Skilfully decorated exteriors and lovingly cared for town museums, pedestrian zones that invite you to discover and wander; farmer’s markets with hand-made and home-made delicacies from the region, plus guest houses and restaurants with menus reflecting the culinary variety of the surrounding region. Whether you visit towns such as Melk and Krems, lying right on the edge of the lifeline that is the Danube river, or the relatively recently elected state capital of St. Pölten, which is right at the heart of Lower Austria and the geographical centre of the state on the Danube. Or choose to stay in old trade points, such as the wine town of Retz, Waidhofen/Ybbs on the Lower Austrian Iron Street or the brewing town of Zwettl in the North Eastern edge of the state; each one of these cities and towns exude their own unique charm and they are worth a visit!
