Hallstatt, Austria A Very Beautiful Fairy Tale Town
No, this city is not a created work of fiction, although it feels like it. Located in the Alps, this city has a rich historical heritage dating back to 800 BC. Known as the “pearl of Austria”, it is not surprising that Hallstatt is the most immortalized destination in the country. The city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has 12th-century churches, lively market squares and restaurants offering a relaxed, candlelit atmosphere.
A millennia-long history of salt mining has brought continued prosperity to Hallstatt, which is reflected in the beauty of its square surrounded by buildings covered in ivy.
In addition, Hallstatt is only an hour's drive from Salzburg and three hours from Vienna, making it a day destination within easy reach of major cities, and also a major attraction for tourists in Austria.
