Salzburg is renowned for its breathtaking mountainous setting and beautiful Baroque architecture. Located close to the Austrian / German border it allows easy access to some of the best ski resorts in Europe.
It is steeped in history and is famous as the birthplace of Mozart and for its churches, castles and cathedrals which are simply too good to miss!
What’s more this romantic city offers great shopping with some unusual jewellery, antiques and plenty of places to pick up an original Austrian gift. When eating out there’s an abundance of choice, ranging from more traditional restaurants to a wide variety of international cuisine which can also be found in the mountain resorts themselves. There are also plenty of cosy cafés to enjoy a hot drink and escape the cold outside!
If you’re looking to fly to Salzburg as a gateway to the slopes you won’t be disappointed. There are around 130 ski resorts within a three hour drive of Salzburg airport.
The Salzburg Christmas market embodies the traditions of Christmas probably more than any other of European Christmas markets - add together the carol Silent Night, Mozart and The Sound of Music and you have a wonderful combination of music, song and festive spirit set against the stunning backdrop of Alpine scenery |
