Introduction to Wels, Austria
The city of Wels is one of the largest settlements in the state of Upper Austria. It is nestled upon the beautiful Traun River and is one of the most important cities for the Wels-Land area. It is a popular tourist destination for several reasons, but is probably most renowned is its rich historical culture. It is an important transportation hub for the northern parts of Austria, which is why a lot of visitors pass through. There are many wonderful Wels hotels that are perfect spots to stay for a few days. The main sight in the city is the compact but picturesque Alstadt (Old Town). Here, visitors can spend time embracing the historical facades that can be found in the Old Town square. Another wonderful place to visit in the city is the Berg Wels building, which is now a historical centre exhibiting displays of the former Emperor Maximilian I. For a closer look at the city's past, visitors should not pass up a chance to see the 13th century Minoritenplaz, which was once a monastery and has been renovated many times since its inception. The city is also renowned for its live music shows that occur weekly.other spellings: welshotels, wells otel, wals hotell, wels hote, welse hotle
