The city of Salzburg is one of Europe’s most impressive cultural cities – world-famous for its festivals, baroque old town and musical heritage of Mozart. At the same time, it is surprisingly diverse, modern and full of life. And best of all, it is only 15 minutes away from Hallein.
Anyone who is passionate about art, music and history will find a stage for amazing experiences here. And if you crave a retreat after an intense day, you have come to the right place: at the salt, you will find space to rest and let your experiences sink in.
From the festival stages to Mozart's birthplace or modern art on Mönchsberg hill, the city of Salzburg will enchant you with special places that will stay in your memory for a long time to come. Here, you can decide how you want to experience culture. And the best part? From the salt, you're so close to all the action.
Hardly any other city offers so many museums in such a small area – and each one tells its own unique story. From art and history to nature: culture awaits you at almost every turn in Salzburg.
It is the city’s landmark – and much more than just a beautiful viewpoint. The largest fully preserved castle in Central Europe towers over the old town and can be reached on foot or by Austria’s oldest funicular railway. Inside, you will find magnificent princely rooms, museums and fascinating insights into over 900 years of city history.
Opera, theatre, musical or ballet: the Salzburg State Theatre holds around 400 performances per season and is one of the most renowned stages in the country. Great stories, modern productions – and all just a short walk from the old town.
A place of quiet magic – and not just for children. The artfully crafted marionettes on stage are a UNESCO World Heritage. Classics, fairy tales and operas are performed – rich in detail, surprising and full of charm.
A baroque setting meets musical delights: the concerts in the Marble Hall of Mirabell Palace are a treat for the eyes and ears – just a short walk from the old town centre. We will be happy to help with tickets or tips what to see.
Every summer, Salzburg becomes a world stage. From mid-July to the end of August, international stars from the worlds of theatre, opera and music gather here to perform on the city’s most beautiful stages.
And the best part? With the Guest Mobility Card, you can use public transport free of charge.
After an intense day full of impressions, it's good to land somewhere. At the salt, you can stay in style, in peace and with plenty of space for yourself – very close to Salzburg and yet deliberately away from the hustle and bustle. Here you will find a place to settle, breathe easy and retreat.
