Salzburg, a city of music, beauty and art.

Do you know what I and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart have in common ?!

A beautiful city, our birthplace.

Small, ancient Salzburg is one of the most beautiful baroque cities in Europe. Once the capital of the eponymous state ruled by the Prince and Archbishop of Salzburg, today it offers a combination of city crowds and views of the mountains, all in historical attire. Although named after the salt mines, today it is recognizable as the capital of music. He is certainly much more than the hometown of the great Mozart and the phenomenal Mozart balls. It is full of magnificent architecture, romantic cafes, towers and churches that attract the eye, but it is also modern, with plenty of space for good shopping, food and accommodation.

Salzburg is located in the lower part of the river Salzach and is considered to be the most beautiful baroque city in the west. Mozart's symphonies are deeply rooted in the city spirit and you will see it every step of the way.

The 11th-century Hohensalzburg Fortress was once home to the Prince of Salzburg. This mighty medieval castle is the largest fortress ever conquered in Europe. Our advice is to take the cable car to the top, which offers a view of the city and the river Salzah, which divides it on two sides.

The Mozart family lived at 9 Getreidegasse for a full 26 years and it is the house where the famous composer was born. The home of child prodigies, which he was able to read, write and compose at the age of five, is today a museum where visitors can see his violin, piano and letters that Mozart wrote to his family.

Hellbrunn Palace or Baroque Disneyland is a masterpiece of architecture located a little south of the city. Here you will see beautiful and humorous fountains, miniature mechanical theaters with 141 moving figures and a museum of folklore, artificial caves…

Mirabell is a castle characterized by beautiful gardens, fountains and statues of Roman and Greek gods, right next to the Salzah River, and was built in the 17th century. The most beautiful room in the castle is certainly the Marble Hall.

Salzburg literally means city of salt. It originated as a place where salt was traded, which was mined and extracted in nearby mines and lowered by wooden boats on the river Salcah towards the city. Even today, you will find shops with different types of salt as well as attractive items made from lumps of salt of different sizes. It is also called the Gate of the Alps.

Its beauty is world-famous as a combination of alpine views and rich architecture. They say that the city was even more beautiful, but that the great fire of 1818 destroyed it well. The city divides the Salzach River into old and new parts.

The old historical center of Salzburg - Altstadt, was in 1996 on the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage sites due to the combination of art and architecture. Salzburg is full of narrow streets that are not typical of Central European cities.

The reason for this is that it was ruled for years by the prince's archbishops educated in Italy. It is clear that part of the culture and style of medieval Italian cities was transferred to Salzburg.
