Burgenland: Austria's Sunshine State



Burgenland is Austria's easternmost province, characterised by a unique blend of Alpine foothills and the vast Pannonian plain. It is a land where Central European history meets a sunny Mediterranean climate, making it an ideal destination for those seeking relaxation and culture.

History and description



Burgenland's history is a fascinating mosaic. For centuries it was part of the Kingdom of Hungary until it was ceded to Austria in 1921 after World War I. This heritage is reflected in its name (which means "Land of Castles") and its diverse population of German, Hungarian and Croatian speakers.

Today it is the ultimate destination for a luxury holiday. The landscape is dotted with rolling vineyards and charming villages. If you are looking for the perfect holiday, you will find a number of exclusive villas tucked away in the countryside. Many of these retreats offer the ultimate in privacy with a private pool overlooking the vines – the perfect place to enjoy a glass of local Blaufränkisch as the sun sets.

Typical food and drink



The cuisine here is hearty and inspired by its Hungarian roots and the bounty of the Pannonian steppe.

Pannonian fish soup: Freshly caught from Lake Neusiedl.

Gansl (Goose): Traditionally served around St. Martin’s Day with red cabbage and dumplings.

Strudel: Specifically the tasty cabbage strudel or sweet cherry varieties.

World-class wines: Known for full-bodied red wines and the famous Eiswein (ice wine) or Ruster Ausbruch dessert wines.

Festivals and activities



Burgenland is the cultural heart of the region, especially in the summer months.

Seefestspiele Mörbisch: Operetta performances on a massive stage built directly into Lake Neusiedl.

Opera in the Quarry (St. Margarethen): Dramatic operas set in a Roman sandstone quarry.

Cycling: Over 2,500 km of flat, scenic cycle paths.

Nature and outdoor activities



The crown jewel of Burgenland's nature is Lake Neusiedl (Neusiedler See), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of the few endorheic (no outflow) lakes in Europe and is remarkably shallow.
