Winter is quiet and cold, best for thermal spa visits.\"","2026-09-15T22:13:18.550Z","Nestled in the rolling hills of southern Burgenland near the Hungarian border, Sankt Martin is a charming wine village that feels like a hidden gem. With fewer than 7,000 residents, this tranquil destination invites travellers to slow down and savour life. The surrounding vineyards produce some of Austria's finest reds, especially Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt. Wander through the historic centre with its pastel-coloured houses, visit the 13th-century parish church, or hike the gentle trails of the nearby Geschriebenstein nature reserve. The atmosphere is laid-back and authentically rural – expect friendly nods from locals and the clink of glasses at a Heuriger wine tavern. Culinary highlights include pumpkin seed oil, cured ham, and freshly baked Striezel pastries. Sankt Martin is perfect for wine lovers, cyclists, and anyone seeking peace away from tourist crowds. The region's thermal springs, like those in Bad Tatzmannsdorf, are just a short drive away.",[10,13,16,19],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","133",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","144",{"key":17,"value":18},"Fire","122",{"key":20,"value":21},"European Emergency","112",[23,26,29,32,35,38,41,44,47,50,53,56],{"key":24,"value":25},"Do I need a visa?","Citizens of most EU\u002FEEA countries, Switzerland, and many others (e.g., US, Canada, Australia) do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days.
