Salzburg isn’t just another postcard-perfect city — it’s a great blend of culture, history, and stunning Alpine scenery. It delivers big on experience without the chaos of larger European cities.

Salzburg is where two stories overlap — Mozart’s city of composers, churches, and court architecture, and the modern legend of The Sound of Music, with filming sites spread through the old town and the lakes. The mix gives the trip real cultural weight, and we take you straight to the places that matter.

If you’re an aviation fan, Red Bull’s Hangar-7 at Salzburg aiport is home to the Flying Bulls, where you can see icons like the P-51D Mustang, F4U Corsair, and P-38 Lightning up close. The aviation lineup sits in a space that also features contemporary art and the award-winning Restaurant Ikarus.
