Trinkhalle

The Trinkhalle on the Bad Ischl Esplanade was built in 1831 as the pump room where visitors formally took the town’s mineral spring water as part of their cure. The Neoclassical building was the center of the spa ritual that drew Emperor Franz Joseph and the Habsburg court to Bad Ischl every summer for decades. It’s now the tourist information office. Worth a look from the outside as a piece of the original spa town architecture; the interior is straightforward tourist logistics. Combine it with the Kaiservilla and Konditorei Zauner for a coherent Bad Ischl morning.
