Mother Nature stretches far into Salzburg’s city center, offering lush meadows, avenues and ancient tree populations, palaces and ponds on the periphery.
The ten towns on Salzburg’s outs-kirts have plenty to offer: from historical architecture, endless re-creation opportunities to beautiful natural landscapes. Outstanding traffic connections allow for a fast transition from city to country.
Spend your vacation just outside the city gates and enjoy the perfect ba-lance between the hustle and bustle of the city and the peacefulness of the countryside with its comfortable outdoor dining areas and relaxing green oases.

Salzburg is a many-faceted city. Once ruled by archbishops, uniting both secular and ecclesiastical power, the city can look back on a moving his-tory. Many baroque church spires, the Cathedral, the Residence and a number of magnificent venues bear witness to a great past.
Today the narrow streets of the his-toric city center are dominated by a vibrant hustle and bustle. Count-less museums and galleries beg to be explored at length. Listen to the music of the street musicians while enjoying a cup of coffee and “Salzburger Nockerl” or take a walk across the city’s mountains to take in the spectacular view of the city’s surroundings.
Music plays an important role in Salzburg: whether it focuses on W. A. Mozart, whose birthplace and residence are among the city’s most popular attractions, “The Sound of Music” or the festivals at Easter, Whitsun or during the summer. Over 4,000 cultural events are held in Salz-burg each year: opportunity enough to give in to the charm of the music and the joie de vivre.
Salzburg - joie de vivre
