Salzburg, world-famous for its Baroque Old Town and as Mozart’s birthplace, delights with a unique blend of culture, history and nature. This festival city lies nestled between the Stadtbergen and the Salzach River and is also the gateway to one of Austria’s most beautiful hiking and ski areas.
Getting there by rail will be easier than ever from December 2025 - with the completion of the Koralmbahn and the new routing of trains via Klagenfurt, numerous direct connections from Graz to Salzburg will become available. This means passengers will benefit from shorter journey times, modern trains and a comfortable, environmentally friendly travel experience across southern Austria.
