The Austrotel Salzburg Hotel is a comfortable 4-star hotel in Salzburg, Austria — one of Europe’s most celebrated and beautiful cities, set in a dramatic Alpine landscape on the banks of the River Salzach. Salzburg needs little introduction: as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the setting for The Sound of Music, and home to one of the finest collections of Baroque architecture north of the Alps, it has been drawing visitors from around the world for centuries. The Austrotel Salzburg provides a well-equipped and conveniently located base from which to experience the city — combining comfortable accommodation with the proximity to Salzburg’s extraordinary concentration of cultural attractions.
The Austrotel Salzburg offers well-appointed rooms with all the amenities expected of a quality 4-star city hotel — air conditioning, private bathroom, TV and the comfortable fittings that make a city-break hotel stay straightforward and enjoyable. The hotel’s location gives guests easy access to the main sights of Salzburg on foot, and the quality of Salzburg’s dining scene — from traditional Austrian coffee houses and Stiftskeller (monastic wine cellars) to contemporary cuisine — means eating well in the evening is never difficult. Salzburg is a compact city that rewards exploration on foot, and the Austrotel’s central positioning makes it easy to walk to the major attractions without relying on taxis or public transport.
Salzburg’s Old Town (Altstadt) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of exceptional quality — one of the best-preserved Baroque city centres in Europe, its compact streets packed with cathedral squares, fountains, arcaded markets and the palaces of prince-archbishops who ruled the city for centuries. The Salzburg Cathedral (Dom) and the Residenz (the princely palace) anchor the old town’s largest square. Mozart’s Birthplace on Getreidegasse — one of the most visited museums in Austria — preserves the apartment where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756 and contains an extensive collection of his personal effects. The Hohensalzburg Fortress, perched dramatically on the Festungsberg above the old town, is one of the largest and best-preserved medieval castles in central Europe and offers extraordinary views over the city and the surrounding Alps. The famous Mirabell Gardens — used in The Sound of Music — are a short walk across the Salzach bridge. Day trips from Salzburg cover Hallstatt (the impossibly picturesque lakeside village and UNESCO site, 75 km), the Salzkammergut lake district and the Berchtesgaden Eagles Nest (45 km, across the German border).

Salzburg is famous internationally for three things above all: it is the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756), the filming location for the 1965 film The Sound of Music, and home to one of the finest Baroque old towns in Europe — a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a stunning collection of churches, palaces, fountains and the Hohensalzburg Fortress. The city also hosts the internationally famous Salzburg Festival each summer — one of the most prestigious classical music and opera festivals in the world.
Yes — Salzburg is an outstanding winter destination. The city looks magnificent under snow, the Christmas markets (Christkindlmarkt) in the Old Town squares are among the most atmospheric in Europe, and the surrounding Alps provide easy access to ski resorts. The indoor cultural programme — concerts, the Mozart museums, the Residenz collections — is unaffected by the season. Many visitors find the city quieter and more atmospheric in winter than in the busy summer peak season.
Hallstatt — the impossibly beautiful lakeside village in the Salzkammergut that is arguably the most photographed village in Austria — is approximately 75 km from Salzburg, around 1 hour 15 minutes by car. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most visited day-trip destinations from Salzburg. The drive through the Salzkammergut lake district is itself one of the most scenic road journeys in Austria.
