Salzburg was founded in the 8th century and its contemporary Old City represents one of the most complete baroque ensembles of churches, palaces and buildings in the world. Due to this, the whole centre of the city was placed on UNESCO´s list of cultural and natural world´s heritage in 1997. Salzburg is located in most beautiful surroundings, with a spectacular panorama of marvellous lakes, lush meadows and forests set against a background of Alpine peaks. In 1756, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Salzburg´s greatest son, was born here. Starting 75 years ago, the famous Salzburg Festival offers music and drama of highest quality to more than 200.000 spectators every summer. Also one of the most successful movies of all times, “The Sound of Music“, contributed to Salzburg’s prestige as one of the musical capitals of the world. For more information, please contact:
