Rust is a charming little town on the shores of Lake Neusiedl in Austria, known since the Middle Ages for its exceptional white wine, which was once so prized that its citizens used it to pay taxes to the Habsburg emperors. This idyllic town holds the title of Free Imperial City and is adorned with historic façades decorated with stork nests, making it one of the most romantic destinations in all of Austria. Visitors are won over by its combination of outstanding gastronomy, wine cellars, and leisurely walks along the lake.
