> Salzburg, the festival city The festival city of Salzburg is a worldwide esteemed cultural metropolis that is well within reach. Just short of 70 kilometres to the north of Wagrain, it is very easy to reach by the Tauern autobahn.
Theatre performances, concerts, visits to museums and galleries, dance events, or literature evenings - the cultural programme is just one of the reasons that makes this city so enticing to visitors. Art has captivated the city, and famous, creative people from a great variety of genres have contributed to its flair.
It is also essential to devote some attention to the wonderful architecture of this Baroque jewel. While strolling through the city, you will be charmed by the most beautiful alleys, secretive corners, and splendid facades. The residence, cathedral, Franciscan church, the old St. Peter district, and not least the fortress are the structures that tell of a distant time and distant world.
On the other hand, however, magnificent places also lie in waiting that are very contemporary and tangible, which promise culinary treats and the atmosphere of modern-day life. It doesn’t matter whether it is a classical coffeehouse where you can chat for hours and read the newspapers, or the lively outdoor restaurants that afford a view of the goings-on in the narrow streets while your meal is served steaming to your table. Every single corner here is literally inviting.
