Introducing Steyr

Undoubtedly one of the prettiest cities in Upper Austria, Steyr grew fat on the riches of the iron industry in the Middle Ages and it shows: cobbled squares fan out into a warren of alleyways stacked with houses in sweet-shop colours. When the weather warms, the locals pile into gelaterias or spill out onto pavement terraces. The turquoise Enns and Steyr rivers converge here and create a spectacular backdrop for walking and cycling along willow-fringed banks.
