This is Salzburg - A unique city
Centuries-old traditions, top-class music and cultural events, culinary delights and international art: Salzburg, known as the home of Mozart and a UNESCO heritage site for more than 25 years, celebrates both its prince-archbishop roots and the spirit of creative freedom and continuous renewal that already existed back then.
Take a stroll through the cobblestoned historic centre and you'll instantly feel the town's elegance, with the prince-archbishops' architectural, artistic and social heritage visible on every corner. Explore the old town's five squares Residenzplatz, Domplatz, Mozartplatz, Kapitelplatz and Alter Markt, considered the most beautiful in Salzburg, then pop into the traditional shops in famous Getreidegasse on the way to Mozart's birthplace. Or how about a play or a concert at the famous Salzburg Festival?
Salzburg's charm also lies in the small moments. Wander through the perfectly manicured Mirabell Gardens, or watch the Salzach River wind its way through the city from Hohensalzburg Fortress or one of the surrounding mountains – that's how the locals enjoy their city, that's Salzburg's unique "Lebensgefühl".
Getting to Salzburg is a breeze with daily flights from London and multiple flights per week from other UK airports (check the schedule here) as well as train connections from European cities.
