Mondsee
Mondsee Town Center
This world-famous town is a mecca for romantics and culture lovers. Beautifully situated on the lake of the same name, in the heart of the Upper Austrian part of the Salzkammergut, surrounded by a spectacular mountain world with resonant names such as the Drachenwand and Schafberg. 6000 years of history have shaped this small market town, also a listed UNESCO World Heritage site – not least due to the discovery of ancient pile-dwelling finds. Stroll along the lakefront and through beautiful Almeida Park, and enjoy a cup of coffee amid the magical ambience of the charming market square – with view of the basilica and Schloss Mondsee.
