During summer, Easter and Whitsun, Salzburg becomes the mecca for all fans of classical music when the Festivals take place in the city. During the summer festival, Salzburg's cathedral square (Domplatz) becomes the backdrop of the Festival's most famous play - Hugo von Hofmannsthal's 'Jedermann' (Everyman).
Salzburg is a pocket-sized cosmopolitan city with an enchanting baroque skyline including Hohensalzburg Fortress and the towers of Salzburg cathedral. The world-famous Summer Festival and the city’s favourite son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, make Salzburg an essential part of any holiday or weekend break in Austria.
Salzburg
Famous for its unmissable summer festival, Salzburg also has countless other attractions on offer all year round, such as the magnificent old town and Hohensalzburg fortress. There is also an ongoing diverse cultural programme, including the famous play 'Jedermann' (Everyman) at Domplatz.
Emperor Town Bad Ischl
Bad Ischl, frequented by Austria's Emperor Franz Josef and his wife, Sisi, is a cultural hub of the Salzkammergut Lake Region, charmingly combining tradition with zeitgeist, the town offers such attractions as the historical Zauner Coffee House and pastry shop, which itself dates back to the Emperor's times, and which offers a wide range of traditional Austrian pastries, prepared and served as they were when the establishment opened. Not to be missed!
Lake Wolfgangsee
The 'Weisses Rossl' Restaurant might be the most famous attraction of St. Wolfgang and Lake Wolfgangsee, but it is definitely not the only one.

The Schafbergbahn train will take you 1800m up along the moutainside so you can enjoy the panoramic view of St. Wolfgang and its surrounds. You can reach other villages by crossing the lake by boat.
Lake Fuschl
Ideally located between the town of Salzburg and the Salzkammergut Lake District, Lake Fuschlsee boasts crystal-clear waters and is a great place to visit during your summer holidays in Mondsee. Improve your swing on one of the two beautiful golf courses, both of which offer fantastic views of the lake.

The challenging Traunstein Mountain on the eastern shores of Traunsee will be very tempting for any experienced climber.
