We want to make sure that your holidays in our beautiful baroque city are as pleasant and relaxing as possible.

How can we do that? Well, the tourist tax revenue is an indispensable contribution. It allows us to provide each guest with a tourist card. The card gives you free or reduced-price access to many great activities and events for perfect holidays. You receive your tourist card at your hotel or other accommodation right upon your arrival.
