City Guide

Bad Ischl on Foot, with Places to Stay Longer

Start at the station and follow the line through Bad Ischl, past the Trinkhalle and across the Traun to Lehár’s villa. The town walk continues along the Esplanade, through the Kurpark and back towards the parish church. Museum visits will take longer than simply walking past the buildings.

The other markers give you choices for the rest of the day. The thermal baths, Kaiservilla, Siriuskogel and Katrin cable car each deserve their own time. They are outside the short town walk. The cable-car marker shows the valley station.

For a pastry stop, the map marks Zauner on Pfarrgasse. Its Grand Café on the Esplanade is a separate branch. Check each attraction’s own visitor information before setting your plans.
