Gastein Travel Guide: 19 reviews and 38 photos
Bad Gastein is surrounded by the most idyllic mountains. The town is unique for its imperial architecture: Here you can find villas and hotels rising from the rocks and the waterfall as a major attraction. In fact, Bad Gastein is one of the few towns where almost every promenade and street still have an Imperial name or are named after a sovereign in the time of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
- Pros:beautiful surroundings and nature
- Cons:buildings not renovated, uninteresting town center
- In a nutshell:definitely worth a short hiking visit
