Every season in Salzburg is full of highlights, but spring is particularly fun. The city of Mozart welcomes you full of life in the blossoming season. Whether you head out into nature or into the streets – take a deep breath and enjoy the fresh energy of spring. We’ll show you how to make the most of your time in Salzburg.

The people of Salzburg are open and sociable – every folk festival is a wonderful opportunity to mingle with the locals. These spring festivals are not to be missed:

Salzburg Dult

Tradition, music, rides and typical Austrian delicacies await you at this charming folk festival. A true classic – authentic, warm and lively.

Easter Festival

Salzburg is a center of classical music – and the Easter Festival marks the beginning of the musical festival season at the highest level. An absolute must for music lovers.

Springtime is a time for indulgence – especially in Salzburg. Two tips for all the senses:

First ice cream of the season at EISL

How about a creamy sheep’s milk ice cream? The small EISL in Getreidegasse offers artfully made gelato with organic ingredients – and is just a stone’s throw away from Hotel Stein.

Picnic on the Mönchsberg

When the spring sun warms up, the Mönchsberg is perfect for a picnic with a view. And for those who like it particularly stylish: the Hotel Stein offers rooftop picnics with a view over the city on request – just ask at reception.
