The Salzburg Festival is the world's most important festival for opera, music and drama - and is now over 100 years old. The festival is as much a part of Salzburg as the Prater is of Vienna. Every year in July and August the city shines in its brightest splendor. The trademarks of the festival are the Jedermann on the Domplatz, exemplary Mozart and Strauss performances, as well as a diverse and top-class drama, opera and concert program. Around 250,000 people attend the more than 200 events every year.
On this tour you can also catch a touch of festival glamour outside of the festival. During a walk through the streets of Salzburg you will find exciting locations, names of famous artists and of course the most beautiful photo spots.
Along the route you will discover historical locations and venues such as the Mozarteum or the Salzburg State Theater. Other stops include the Residence, a symbol of Salzburg's history as a city of music, and the Cathedral Square, one of the most impressive theater stages in Europe. If you still have enough energy in your legs, you can extend your walk to Leopoldskron Palace, where Max Reinhardt lived and founded the festival.

Holy Trinity Church (Dreifaltigkeitskirche), Salzburg
Highlight • Religious Site
The Trinity Church is the dominant building on Makartplatz and part of a late Baroque ensemble that is no longer completely preserved. It is located on the edge of the New Town, the 19th-century buildings that were built on the site of former fortifications. The Trinity Church was the first important building built in Salzburg by the Baroque architectural star Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. He also designed St. Mark's Church, the Hospital Church of St. John, and the Collegiate Church.
The Trinity Church already has many of the characteristics of a Fischer von Erlach religious building: the central dome, as well as the playful, clearly segmented façade and two towers. These elements sometimes make the Trinity Church appear more like a palace than a church. The Market Square was given its current design in the 19th century. It offers the Trinity Church enough space to unfold its impact on the viewer.
The church was built between 1694 and 1702, when Prince Archbishop Ernst von Thun commissioned the construction of a seminary. Fischer von Erlach, as was often the case, was inspired by Roman buildings. The building complex still serves as a seminary today. The Trinity Church is famous for the frescoes in the dome, which were painted by Johann Michael Rottmayr—a successful collaboration that culminated and culminated with the Karlskirche in Vienna. The dome frescoes of the Trinity Church depict the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, accompanied by the Holy Trinity.
