About Salzburg

Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart and home of the world-famous Salzburg Festival, sits on the Salzach river right by the German border. Its baroque old town, crowned by the Hohensalzburg fortress, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a magnet for tourists — the backdrop, too, for The Sound of Music.

Neighbourhoods in Salzburg

Beyond the historic Altstadt, Lehen and Maxglan are central residential quarters within walking or cycling distance of the centre; Itzling to the north is more affordable; and Aigen, on the slopes of the Gaisberg, is green, leafy and sought-after.

Living in Salzburg

The setting is hard to beat: the Alps rise on the horizon and the lakes of the Salzkammergut, plus excellent skiing, are less than an hour away. The trade-off is one of Austria’s tightest and most expensive housing markets, so finding a long-term rental takes patience and speed.

Mietscan flags new apartments within minutes — reply in the first hour with a complete application and your odds are good. The alert takes about 10 seconds to set up and is free during the beta.
