Salzburg's archbishops, especially Markus Sittikus, were passionate about architecture and left behind numerous castles and magnificent parks. Mirabell Palace, Hellbrunn Palace, and the Monats-Schlössl are must-see highlights on any sightseeing tour through the Mozart City.
Born in Salzburg in 1756, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart soon became a living legend. Follow in the footsteps of a brilliant composer and visit Mozart's birthplace in Getreidegasse, the house on Makartplatz and the family grave (without Wolfgang) in St Sebastian's Cemetery.
From July to August, the city of Mozart is buzzing with excitement. The reason? The Salzburg Festival attracts numerous international guests and stars with its operas, plays, and dramas. Every year, the festival traditionally opens with the play Jedermann. Written by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, it premiered in 1920 under the direction of festival founder Max Reinhardt. Since then, this play about the death of a wealthy man has remained a cornerstone of the festival's program.
