The Capital of Culture Region is made up of 23 municipalities in the provinces of Upper Austria and Styria. The title “European Capital of Culture” has been awarded to cities and regions in Europe since 1985. For the first time in history, it will take place in 2024 in an inner-alpine, rural region.
Bad Ischl as the banner town and the Salzkammergut region were awarded the title “European Capital of Culture 2024” in November 2019 after a multi-stage application process. There are 23 municipalities in Upper Austria and Styria, a cultural region that is reinventing itself for the future through the interaction of art, culture, business and tourism (with currently around 190 fixed and 10 associated projects). Bad Ischl Salzkammergut, Tartu (Estonia) and Bodø (Norway) will host the European Capital of Culture 2024 together.
