Das Beste von Salzburg

Salzburg Essentials

Salzburg combines its UNESCO-listed Baroque Old Town with dramatic Alpine landscapes. The city features architectural landmarks like the Mirabell Palace and the Holy Trinity Church, designed by Fischer von Erlach. Mozart’s legacy is preserved at his former residence and through the original Mozartkugel at Café Fürst. Beyond the urban center, the region encompasses the 380-meter-high Krimml Waterfalls, the Dachstein massif, and the glacial lakes of Gosauseen, showcasing Austria's natural heritage.
