Salzburg World Heritage Town:

Salzburg's Old City Center is considered to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Unesco recently nominated it as one of the world's cultural and natural heritage sites. What is so special about Salzburg, what makes it a must to visit? Salzburg is a rare symbiosis of culture and nature, formed and polished during the last 2000 years. A giant old fortress looks down on a picturesque ensemble of churches, parks and gardens, on squares with palace fountains, surrounded by tiny coloured houses with countless shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.

Salzburg and the story of Mozart

Once upon a time W.A. Mozart was born in a narrow Salzburg Center lane. Today Getreidegasse No 9 is a museum that tells the tale of the life of Amadeus&family 250 years ago. Since more than half of his life was spent in Salzburg, the most authentic Mozart sites of any town in the world can be found there. Mozart\'s beautiful and pure music of course can be heard day and night in Salzburgs concerthalls, towncenter lanes and squares.

The Festival Town

At the beginnings, more than 80 years ago, the summer festival was a small event. Today there are music-festivals from classic to jazz, almost every month and the Salzburg Summer festival is renowned for classical music worldwide. Throughout the year, world class music musicians mix with the town and its visitors and more than 4,000 events per year make Salzburg the "world capital of culture".

The Sound of Music Town

The Trapp families hometown later became the film location of their lifestory "Sound of Music" and the most seen film of all times was shot in Salzburg. Today visitors from all over the world can see the original places by taking the sightseeing bus with the famous Rogers Hammerstein songs still in the air. They can follow Maria's footsteps at least once in their life. Most places seem rather unchanged: The old town, the monastry, Leopoldskron castle, the gazebo, Felsenreitschule and even our "hills are still alive".

Salzburg Lakes & Mountains

If Salzburg town is the stage, the surrounding landscape with its lakes and mountains is its scenery. Mountains of any difficulty can be reached easily by bus or train or even on foot. In summer for tracking, in Winter for winter sports. There is also a snowshuttlebus which leaves Mirabellplatz every day in Wintertime going to a Wintersport region and which returns late afternoon.
