Wandering in Salzburg, a city taken from a fairy tale

Surrounded by the river Salzach, built at the foot of the lush Alps, with buildings of Gothic architecture and Baroque touches with Renaissance elements, Salzburg creates an image that will captivate every visitor. Climb to the highest part of the city, its medieval castle and admire the magnificent view of this landscape unfolding in front of you.

Meet Mozart's birthplace, visit the house of the great artist and wander the cobbled streets of the old town as "the Magic Flute" is heard from afar.

Enjoy one by one the beauties that this magical destination offers you with a visit to the impressive cathedral, the church of St. Peter but also the gothic church of the Franciscans.

Take a leisurely stroll at the local market on Getreidegasse, photograph the Hollywood scenes of the classic "The Melody of Happiness", take a cultural trip to the city's museums and catch the small boat for a cruise along the Salzach.

Salzburg and its gastronomy

Wander through the picturesque cafes and restaurants and discover Austrian cuisine and many other surprises. Be sure to taste the goulash soup, kasspatzl (spaghetti with applesauce), Kaiserschmarrn and Grostl (pieces of pork and beef with onion and potatoes). Find the famous Mozartkugeln chocolates, which are a sweet treat for your loved ones. Try the famous Amadeus liqueur and do not leave Salzburg without trying the Austrian beer Stiegl.

The best season to visit Salzburg

Visit the Austrian city all months of the year. In winter the temperature may be low but Christmas in Salzburg is fairytale with the white veil of snow on the buildings, the wooden Christmas markets and the festive mood. If you prefer the summer months, you can attend the classical music festival.
