Diverse cultural offerings in Salzburg
The City of Mozart, Salzburg, invites you to experience the UNESCO World Heritage Site in a relaxed atmosphere. Strolling through the old town, the most beautiful sights are practically at your feet. The historical treasures and special atmosphere convinced UNESCO in 1997 to declare the old town a World Heritage Site. But it’s not just UNESCO – locals and guests alike love the unique flair and diverse cultural offerings in the heart of Salzburg.
Baroque Jewel Old Town
The world-famous skyline with Hohensalzburg Fortress, the cathedral, and the many baroque church towers is impressively framed by Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg. Dreamy streets, beautiful squares, and imposing buildings create an atmosphere that you can feel immediately. Getreidegasse, Residenzplatz, Mozartplatz, St. Peter’s Abbey, the horse pond, and of course the festival district with the Großes Festspielhaus and Felsenreitschule are simply a must when you visit Salzburg.
