So close: Salzburg, City of Mozart and home of The Festival
Just about 66 km from Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Salzburg City of Mozart never fails to fascinate. Salzburg is a city rich in fame and tradition, having established itself in the 21st century as a modern cultural metropolis in the heart of Europe.
The facts are both appealing and impressive. Salzburg boasts only about 150,000 residents, yet more than 4,000 cultural events annually, and the better part of 20 Baroque churches.
The silhouette of the city is unmistakable: Hohensalzburg Fortress, the Baroque cathedral, the Franciscan and University Church, set against the Mönchsberg, with the mighty, legendary Untersberg off in the distance. Just some of the numerous highlights of any visit to Salzburg.
