Salzburg is a city where the air feels like a melody and the skyline resembles a Baroque masterpiece. Whether you're looking for a high-culture pilgrimage or an Alpine escape, this "Rome of the North" delivers effortless charm.

A glimpse of history


Salzburg's history is rooted in "white gold" - the salt mines that financed its breathtaking architecture. For centuries, it was an independent prince-bishopric, a powerful city-state ruled by archbishops who favored Italian aesthetics, resulting in the domes and spires you see today. The city's heart naturally beats to the rhythm of its most famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, born here in 1756.

Description & Your Stay


The city is divided by the emerald-green Salzach River. On one side lies the UNESCO-listed Altstadt (Old Town), a maze of narrow medieval alleys like Getreidegasse. On the other hand, the “New Town” offers magnificent 19th-century boulevards.

If you’re planning a visit, the accommodation landscape is as diverse as the landscape. For a real taste of local life, book a cozy vacation apartment tucked away in a historic townhouse in the city center. For those seeking luxury and privacy, the outskirts and nearby Lake District offer stunning, secluded villas and holiday homes with views of the Alps. Whether you prefer a modern city break or a traditional lakeside villa, Salzburg is the perfect base for your vacation.

Typical Dishes: A Taste of the Alps


Salzburger cuisine is hearty, sweet, and effortlessly sumptuous.

Salzburger Nockerl: A fluffy, sweet soufflé that represents the three local mountains (Mönchsberg, Kapuzinerberg, and Gaisberg).

Mozartkugeln: The iconic pistachio, marzipan and nougat chocolates wrapped in silver and blue foil (look for the "Original" at Café Fürst).

Bosna: A spicy, specialty hot dog found in small stalls, a local cult favorite.

Wienerschnitzel: Thinly sliced, breaded veal served with cranberry jam and parsley potatoes.
