Activities in Salzburg

Culture

Situated on the banks of the Salzach River, Salzburg is one of the most beautiful cities in central Europe. Birthplace of Mozart and setting to the 'Sound of Music', the city has a rich musical heritage and this is what gives Salzburg it's distinct character and vibe. Take a leisurely walk around the old town and along the Getreidegasse, the famous street of wrought iron signs where the most expensive McDonald's sign in the world can be found! Mozart's birthplace is also to be found along this street and you'll find his influence in abundance throughout the city. Explore the maze of boutique filled narrow streets which filter off from the main shopping street.

Visit Hellbrunn Palace on the outskirts of the city and see the vast gardens with playful water fountains - great on a hot summers day. The Mirabell Palace is famous for its gardens and is perfect for a picnic or just people watching. Not to be missed is the stunning Cathedral and the views from the Hohensalzburg Fortress are the best in the city.
