Frequently asked questions about the Neustadt spa tax
Do I also have to pay the Neustadt visitor's tax if I am here on business?
In principle, the visitor’s levy is used to cover the costs associated with tourism. Exceptions may apply in the case of stays undertaken purely for business purposes. Please discuss this directly with your host or the tourist information office.
Is the spa card also valid in other locations?
The Neustadt Spa Card primarily offers you discounts within the Harztor municipal area and, in particular, in the climatic health resort of Neustadt. However, thanks to partnerships across the Harz region, spa cards are often mutually recognised (e.g. for reduced admission to museums in neighbouring towns). Keep an eye out for notices or ask our team.
Where can I pay the visitor's tax if not online?
If you are unable to use the online service, you have the option of paying the fee directly to your host (hotel, holiday let) or, in exceptional cases, at the Tourist Information Office on Stolberger Straße in Neustadt.
Why are there different contributions for children?
To ease the burden on families, the spa tax in Harztor is staggered. Children up to the age of 5 are completely exempt, while children and young people between the ages of 6 and 17 pay a greatly reduced rate.
Ich bin Tagesgast in Neustadt, was dann?
According to the tourist levy regulations, day visitors, long-term campers and long-term users of weekend cottages are also required to pay the tourist levy. This supports our tourism efforts here in the Southern Harz, and through our tourist card partners you can even enjoy some real benefits!
