Hotels in Burgenland, Oostenrijk

Burgenland is a region in eastern Austria, bordering Hungary, with a sunny, continental climate where summer highs often reach 77°F (25°C) and winter lows hover around 32°F (0°C). Famous for its red wines, especially Blaufränkisch, and the vast steppe lake Neusiedler See, you can spend summer afternoons windsurfing on the lake or biking through the Seewinkel salt lakes to spot herons and avocets. In cooler months, explore the medieval town of Rust with its stork-nested roofs, or warm up with a wine tasting at a local heurigen tavern, where the dry, fruity wines pair perfectly with cold-weather hearty dishes.
