Therefore, a wealth of information about the city of Mozart is available from guidebooks, websites and travel agencies. Sometimes it can be difficult to find your way round during a Salzburg visit. How can you find the "real" place? Where can you obtain accurate information from independent sources?

This is where www.visit-salzburg.net pops up in all its glory: a website run by locals from Salzburg, who collected independent "inside" information in English for international visitors. Independent means that we neither work for the tourism council, nor for any particular company.

We share information on Salzburg with our readers because we like our city - and because we want you to enjoy it as much as we do! Experience Salzburg at your visit through the eyes of a local - or where else would you learn the 10 things not to do in Salzburg?
