Salzburg Austria, the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is dominated by churches, castles and palaces which play host to the world-famous annual Salzburg Festival while the picturesque old town is a UNESCO world heritage sight.

A Salzburg holiday offers a surfeit of glorious architecture. Festung Hohensalzburg, the landmark of Salzburg, is Central Europe’s largest intact fortress and offers fantastic views of the city. Visit the Princely Residence, a magnificent early baroque edifice with splendid halls and 16th and 19th Century European paintings. The nearby vast Salzburg Dom is without doubt a popular attraction of the old town as it was here, in the Romanesque font, that Mozart was baptized. And that's only the start of the history that makes a Salzburg break so stimulating.


Salzburg is situated in the heart of Austria and offers easy access for culture, nature and sports lovers from everywhere in the world thanks to its road, train and flight connections.
