A cultural stage usually found in the most beautiful Italian cities is what makes Salzburg
the place to be. Mozart’s birthplace is fascinating for both visitors and the 150 000 inhabitants of the Land's capital. In Salzburg you never run out of things to do: stroll along the romantic little lanes in the baroque old town, rest your feet at one of the many warm and welcoming cafés, marvel at Europe’s largest intact fortresses. Split in two by the River Salzach running through it, the city is close to the German border and is at the very centre of Europe.
More about study in Salzburg
Salzburg also loves its music and the famous summer Salzburger Festspiele festival is one of the most important cultural events in the world. Throughout the year Salzburg’s medieval and baroque streets play host to cultural events promoting theatre, literature and local pop culture. The city has built a legend around its most famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the house he was born in and the house he lived in – you will learn everything there is to know about the genius who was the first to have the X Factor!
You cannot help but be charmed by Salzburg’s way of reminding us of the history she is so proud of. Modern boutiques, trendy restaurants and cafés, a range of stall and jewellers – all the shops have their sign in golden wrought iron with an illustration of the shop name. Take everything in - Salzburg will stay engraved on your memory for the rest of your days!
