City information: Salzburg

Salzburg with over 150.000 inhabitants is the fourth largest city in Austria with an old-town famous for its baroque architecture. In fact, UNESCO declared it a world heritage site back in 1997.

The birthplace of Mozart will surely keep you busy in between the EURO 2008 matches. There are many beautiful hotels to choose from, as well as things to see and do.

The newly rebuilt stadium, the Wals-Siezenheim, is located conveniently next to the Salzburg airport and will be able to hold 30.000 people. It will also be connected to the Salzburg-Munich railway in time for the EURO 2008. A large recreational area with restaurants and playgrounds among other things will also be available in the stadium area.
