Hallstatt is a fairy-tale Alpine village nestled between the mountain slopes of Austria's Salzkammergut and the serene waters of its namesake lake — a place where history stretches back an astonishing 7,000 years, to the very cradle of one of Europe's most ancient civilizations, shaped by the legacy of salt. Today, this UNESCO-protected gem is the ultimate destination for those who seek to surrender to the allure of unspoiled nature, vibrantly painted facades, and an authentically timeless Alpine spirit.
Everything you need for Hallstatt in one place
The oldest active salt mine in the world, with a tradition spanning over 7,000 years. The visit includes rides on mining slides, a tour of underground tunnels and lakes, as well as an exploration of the history that made Hallstatt one of the most important settlements in prehistoric Europe. The mine is located above the town and is most commonly visited together with the Skywalk viewpoint.
A panoramic viewpoint at an altitude of 360 meters above Lake Hallstatt, accessible by funicular from the town center. From the platform, visitors can enjoy views of the lake, the village, and the surrounding Alpine peaks. It is most commonly visited together with the salt mine located in the immediate vicinity.
A small 19th-century evangelical church situated directly on the shores of Lake Hallstatt, it is one of the most photographed buildings in Austria. Its waterside setting and the mountain backdrop behind it make it one of the most recognisable symbols of the village.
Bad Ischl is a charming alpine town and former summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph I, known for the Imperial Villa and elegant promenades.
