What brings you here?
Combine a trade fair with the town
If an event sets the itinerary, compare the hotel address and fair destination first. A free period on Stadtplatz can add local interest without overloading the working day.
Discover historic Wels
The Ledererturm, Stadtplatz and castle provide a clear thread through the town. Select individual stops and allow time for façades rather than treating the full historic route as a checklist.
Try things together
Welios offers a reason to travel beyond conventional sightseeing. Check the exhibition programme and set aside a dedicated visit, leaving enough attention for selected hands-on exhibits.

Explore the city and surroundings
01 / Wels
Stadtplatz and Ledererturm
The Ledererturm marks the western end of Stadtplatz and is a useful starting landmark. Compare the historic façades along the square afterwards. The tower can be admired from outside; it opens inside only on special occasions.
02 / Wels
Castle and castle garden
Wels Castle and its adjoining garden add a second historic setting to Stadtplatz. Use the garden for a deliberate break. If you would also like to visit the castle museum, check the current opening times in advance.
03 / Wels
Welios Science Center
Welios exhibitions feature hands-on exhibits, shifting the visit from looking to trying things out. Give the centre its own place in your programme and check the current exhibition and visitor information. Workshops and science shows can be booked in addition, depending on the programme.
