This Baroque city, dominated by a 900 year old castle, is set against a magical backdrop of spectacular mountains, forests and rivers. Home of Mozart, the city is rich in music, art, history, charm and romance. In the compact Old Town the ancient, narrow cobbled streets contrast with grand historic buildings which in turn overlook elegant squares. The famous Summer Festival is the musical highlight but there are also classical and jazz concerts throughout the year. Why not combine your stay in Salzburg with a few days in Vienna?

A truly delightful townhouse that has been owned by the same family for three generations, the Auersperg is located in a quiet part of Salzburg, yet it is just five minutes’ walk from the pedestrianised Linzergasse and 15 minutes from the River Salzach and the Old Town.
Located in a delightful 15th century building on the famous Getreidgasse, this luxurious hotel is just steps away from Mozart’s birthplace and five minutes’ walk from the river.
This grand, stylish hotel stands on the banks of the Salzach River and faces the Old Town (just five minutes’ walk away). Under the same family ownership as the Sacher Hotel in Vienna, the Sacher Salzburg offers turn of the century elegance; spacious public areas and 109 individually furnished bedrooms (all recently renovated yet retaining the style of a bygone era).
Located just over the river from the old town, close to the Linzergasse, the Stein has a contemporary design, in contrast to the many traditional hotels of the city. The historic building dates from 1399 and sits right on the banks of the Salzach.
Nestled in a mediaeval cobbled backstreet of the old town, this former 16th century coppersmith’s has been converted into a charming boutique hotel with an original stone staircase and flagstone floors along with frescos and wooden beams overhead.
