Christmas-market atmosphere meets Salzburg's riverside city setting. Stay long enough to explore the historic centre between festive visits, rather than seeing the city only through its market stalls.

Destination background

The city lies on the Salzach River, near the border with Germany and at the foot of the Alps mountains.
