Hotels in Salzburg

Salzburg is a baroque jewel in western Austria, straddling the Salzach river beneath the imposing Hohensalzburg Fortress. Best known as the birthplace of Mozart and the setting of The Sound of Music, its UNESCO-listed Old Town is a compact maze of domes, pastel façades and elegant squares.

Beyond its music and cinema heritage, Salzburg offers palace gardens, riverside promenades and world-class concerts in venues from candlelit halls to open-air courtyards. The surrounding lakes and mountains of the Salzkammergut make it an easy launch pad for day trips into some of Austria's most beautiful countryside.
