Bad Ischl: European Capital of Culture 2024
Bad Ischl is a town in the Salzkammergut that has a long history as a spa resort, which became popular in the 19th century, especially among the aristocracy and upper middle class. Until 1914, Bad Ischl served as a summer residence for Emperor Franz Joseph, and the town retains an air of grandeur from that era.
In 2024, Bad Ischl will be the European Capital of Culture, an event that will be reflected in the euro coin set. The city is famous for its picturesque natural landscapes: vibrant mountains, lakes and forests, as well as its historical and cultural monuments such as Dachstein and Hallstatt. In addition to natural wealth, the region also produces salt, which served as the historical basis for the prosperity of local settlements. This makes the set not only a valuable addition to collections, but also a wonderful gift for those who appreciate Austrian cultural heritage and nature.
