Bad Ischl

Bad Ischl is only a short drive away from the White Horse Inn and cultivates its image as the former summer residence of the Austrian Emperor. Follow in Emperor Franz’s and Empress Sisi’s footsteps – while discovering Bad Ischl.
This is how guests from the around the world know and love Bad Ischl: Villas in the style of the turn of the 20th Century, the elegant spa gardens for nice walks, the Zauner Bakery with the inimitably delicious croissants and cakes. Operetta melodies float in the air and the brightly beautiful “imperial weather” makes a trip up the local town peak, the Kathrin Mountain of Bad Ischl, simply perfect.
However Bad Ischl also has a modern side: Galleries, exhibitions and last but not least the "Shake the lake" boogie and blues festival are in tune with the pulse of our time.
