For the first time in the almost 40-year history of European Capitals of Culture, the title has been awarded to an inner-Alpine region.

The Salzkammergut with its 23 municipalities is exemplary for the whole of Europe and shows that the future can be shaped together despite all differences. The European Capital of Culture Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024 serves therefore as a role model for Europe.

In 2024, art and cultural initiatives can be experienced at numerous locations in the Salzkammergut - a colorful, thought-provoking mix of regional impulses, local and international artists, with a sustainable approach, appreciating tradition and at the same

time sharpening our view of how cultural resources can be used to shape the future. The programme of the European Capital of Culture Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024 strikes a balance between these areas of tension in four key areas. 

In the programme lines "Power & Tradition", "Culture in Flux", "Dharing Salzkammergut - The Art of Travelling" and "Globalokal - Building The New", Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024 addresses important topics of the region, Europe and the world. It provides new impetus, brings the diversity of historically rooted and contemporary craft, art and culture to the fore and networks the region internationally.
