Salzburgerland is proof that size really doesn’t matter. Well, not when you have Mozart, Maria von Trapp and the 600-year legacy of the prince-archbishops behind you. Salzburg is every bit as grand as you imagine it: a baroque masterpiece, a classical-music legend and Austria’s spiritual heartland.

Coverage includes: Salzburg & around, Hellbrunn, Hallein & Around, Werfen, Southern Salzburg Province, Filzmoos, Radstadt, Mauterndorf, Hohe Tauern National Park, Grossglockner Road, Heiligenblut, Zell am See, Krimml and Bad Gastein & around.
