First thing’s first: we are your Salzburg Festival hotel near the Festspielhaus. The festival season in Salzburg is simply social, cultural and musical grandeur. For us, too, this time is one of the highlights of the entire year. Enjoy the magic of strolling through the Old Town and having a hotel so close to the Salzburg Festival and all it has to offer.
Each year in July and August, the Salzburg Festival is a highlight for our guests. Expect one breathtaking performance after the next during this major classical music and performing arts festival. And not to mention – Salzburg is a masterpiece in itself!
Spend your day wandering the picturesque narrow streets of the Old Town, taking in the Baroque architecture and city charm. Visit museums and galleries; explore the Kapuzinerberg. The neighbourhood surrounding our Salzburg festival hotel is sure to give you plenty of inspiration – and we have lots of tips for you, too!
During the festival season, horse-drawn carriages are at their peak. A carriage ride through Salzburg is simply romantic. Find a carriage at Residenzplatz near the cathedral and get ready for your tour of the city.

We recommend paying a visit to the Hohensalzburg Fortress for the best views of the city. Take time for a tour and soak up the one-of-a-kind architecture.

If you’re looking for a bit of relaxation on your Festival holiday, Salzburg has plenty of parks and green spaces perfect for a little break. Look forward to time outdoors as you let the sounds of Mozart ring in your ears.
The Baroque Mirabell Palace is just a short walk from the Altstadthotel Wolf-Dietrich Salzburg Festival hotel. Take a tour and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the parks and fountains. After all, Salzburg time is Culture.TIME.
