Destination Salzburg

What more can be said about Mozart’s city—the city of the Festival, of culture, and of countless sights?

From Holznerwirt’s point of view, it’s quite simple: Salzburg is only ten minutes away. Right in the city center. So you can throw yourself into the hustle and bustle whenever you feel like it, explore the city’s many beautiful corners and narrow lanes, go shopping, immerse yourself in art and culture—and then come back. Back to peace and quiet. And good food. At Holznerwirt.
