With a fully regulated and legalised system of prostitution, Austria does not have red-light districts like those you can find in Germany or the Netherlands. Instead much of the sex industry is undertaken behind closed doors in licensed brothels, FKK clubs or via private escorts.
Few women work on the street as there are so many establishments offering sex. But with so many laufhauses, brothels and bordellos, how do you know which ones are the best?
In this guide, we take a look at the best brothels in Austria along with a full listing, city by city of all the bordellos and laufhauses in the country.
Some towns which only have a few thousand residents have a brothel to serve the community and it is largely an accepted make-up of the country. Some parts of the country also impose restrictions on the times and places that brothels and other forms of prostitution may operate between and from.
The majority of sex workers in the country come from Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria with Slovakia and Czech Republic also keeping the European end up. However, there are also quite a lot of African Nigerian and Asian Chinese prostitutes working in some of the city brothels. Laufhaus prices are often cheaper. There are more than two dozen brothels in Vienna with most having a reasonable reputation but differing on price, service and standards.
