The most beautiful Cities in Austria
Urban experiences that move and inspire
Introduction
Experiencing a city means discovering new sights, marvelling at cultural treasures and delving into local flavours. When you embrace new perspectives, you open yourself to a shift in the familiar.
Each of Austria's nine provincial capitals has its own atmosphere that alters your viewpoint and inspires fresh ways of seeing. The Austrian Synapse is the souvenir you take home – and the one that stays with you. Urban experiences and city breaks spark ideas in magnificent palaces, castles and historic buildings, as well as in cafés, restaurants, design hotspots and cultural meeting places – and, of course, through the people who give the city its spirit.
Austria's history has shaped countless urban places. Where past and present meet, memories emerge that resonate. And what resonates inspires change and leaves a lasting mark. Grow your Austrian Synapse.

The preservation of historic buildings is an outstanding initiative for climate protection in Austria. Why?
Heritage conservation saves resources and prevents the sealing of green spaces.
Heritage conservation plays an important socio-cultural role: Preserving historic structures benefits the entire region, which can captivate visitors with its rich architectural heritage.
Many historic buildings are made from natural materials sourced from the immediate surroundings. During professional restoration, regional materials are often used to maintain the building's originality.
The preservation of wildlife habitats is ensured. On an ecological level too, heritage conservation is the right path forward.
