For a fantastic summer holiday, think Austria…think  SalzburgerLand. Set in the area of Austria around and south of Salzburg, SalzburgerLand is a natural wonderland, ripe with things to do and sights to see.  From hiking, biking, swimming and golfing, you will never be at a loss for an active adventure. SalzburgerLand has more than 185 lakes, 17 golf courses and 7,200 km of marked hiking trails.

And, if you are looking for culture  look no further. You are, after all, in the land of Mozart and The Sound of Music. There are festivals, concerts, museums and monuments not only in Salzburg but throughout SalzburgerLand.

Foodies and anyone who just loves good food will enjoy following the Via Culinaria on any and all of seven delectable routes that traverse the entire SalzburgerLand.

And, to enjoy it all at a discount, be sure to buy the SalzburgerLand Card offering free admission to over 190 sights and attractions throughout the SalzburgerLand!
