Holidays in Salzburg.

Salzburg is a cosmopolitan city. City of Mozart. Festival city. Cultural metropolis. A city of shopping and adventure. In addition to its impressive history, which goes back to the Romans and their Iuvavum, Salzburg is, as the name suggests, a city that was able to develop rapidly thanks to salt and achieved early wealth. Situated in the centre of Austria and in the Alps, Salzburg today impresses above all with its romantic and enchanting old town, the many small alleyways with boutiques, cafés and classy and charming restaurants.

It also offers a wide range of cultural, sporting and social leisure activities. From a stroll in Mirabell Gardens to a visit to the impressive Hohensalzburg Fortress, a visit to the Salzburg Festival or the Salzburg Christmas Market, a trip to Hellbrunn Zoo and a shopping tour through the city centre, a variety of great experiences await all travellers to Salzburg!

There is a lot going on in Salzburg all year round. The province of Salzburg is located in the centre of Austria and is one of the most beautiful and varied regions in the Alps.
