Austria

By Travelog Editorial Team ยท Updated August 8, 2026

Austria is live on Travelog with two cities: Vienna, whose Historic Centre spent eight years, 2017 to 2024, on UNESCO's List of World Heritage in Danger over a disputed high-rise development before being removed, and Salzburg, whose Historic Centre was inscribed in 1996 and has never faced that same threat.

Vienna and Salzburg both carry genuine UNESCO recognition, but only one has a documented, contentious recent history with the list itself, Vienna spent eight years flagged as endangered over a skyscraper dispute before being cleared in 2024, a genuinely different story from Salzburg's steadier standing. Both cities and their landmark pages are live now.

  • Vienna The Historic Centre, UNESCO-listed in 2001, removed from the Danger List only in 2024 after an eight-year dispute over a high-rise project.
  • Salzburg The Historic Centre, UNESCO-listed in 1996, with no comparable Danger List history.
