Salzburg with the OBB
Mozart, music, good food, and friendly people: This is Salzburg, the world's stage. When visiting the city, you will discover very quickly that there are many more reasons to come to Salzburg more than just once. The Westbahn course turns at Salzburg towards Bischofshofen, Villach, and Italy, and the highways A1 and A10 split here as well. This allows visitors to reach major cities like Munich or Vienna quickly and conveniently. Having a drink at sundown at the Mönchsberg hill or sitting in a coffeehouse in the garden of Mozart's house at Makartplatz is a true Salzburg experience. This e-book was developed in cooperation with the Austrian Federal Railways and with the support of Tourismus Salzburg GmbH.

and <strong>the</strong>ir illustrious guests from four hundred years<br />
ago and admire <strong>the</strong> trick fountains. When visiting<br />

<strong>the</strong> spectacle, but make sure to check beforehand<br />
that <strong>the</strong> surface is not completely soaked already.<br />

all directions, even those that seemed "safe" beforehand.<br />
Children love to stand in <strong>the</strong> front row at Hellbrunn<br />
Palace and watch <strong>the</strong> fountains. Grown-ups who do<br />
not want to end up completely drenched are advised<br />
to stay in <strong>the</strong> background and watch <strong>the</strong> water<br />
games from afar.<br />
