The ten towns on Salzburg s outskirts have plenty to offer: from historical architecture, endless recreation opportunities to beautiful natural landscapes. Outstanding traffic connections allow for a fast transition from city to country. Spend your vacation just outside the city gates and enjoy the perfect balance between the hustle and bustle of the city and the peacefulness of the countryside with its comfortable outdoor dining areas and relaxing green oases. View across Elsbethen to the Untersberg 4 5

3 All the beautiful regions I have seen - in my opinion - cannot compare with Salzburg s divine natural beauty. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Salzburg - joie de vivre Mirabell Gardens Salzburg s major attractions at a glance: Hohensalzburg Fortress, the Mirabell Gardens and Mozart s Birthplace in the center of Salzburg s historic city center, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since Salzburg is a many-faceted city. Once ruled by archbishops, uniting both secular and ecclesiastical power, the city can look back on a moving history. Many baroque church spires, the Cathedral, the Residence and a number of magnificent venues bear witness to a great past. Today the narrow streets of the historic city center are dominated by a vibrant hustle and bustle. Countless museums and galleries beg to be explored at length. Listen to the music of the street musicians while enjoying a cup of coffee and Salzburger Nockerl or take a walk across the city s mountains to take in the spectacular view of the city s surroundings. Music plays an important role in Salzburg: whether it focuses on W. A. Mozart, whose birthplace and residence are among the city s most popular attractions, The Sound of Music or the festivals at Easter, Whitsun or during the summer. Over 4,000 cultural events are held in Salzburg each year: opportunity enough to give in to the charm of the music and the joie de vivre. Salzburg Festival Mozart s Birthplace 6 7
