Salzburg City

Wellworth a visit and just a stone's throw away

World Heritage-listed Salzburg City looks back on a long history, traces of which you see everywhere you go. Imposing buildings, countless artefacts of the “glory days” and, of course, churches – in Salzburg, there is something new to discover around practically every corner. The most striking sightseeing attractions include Salzburg Cathedral, Hohensalzburg Fortress,

the Alte Residenz, the Getreidegasse with Mozart’s birthplace, and the Festival District with the Grosses Festspielhaus concert hall, the Haus für Mozart and the Felsenreitschule. Salzburg City’s 20 museums in total are exceptionally diverse, introducing you to the worlds of art, nature and technology.
