Salzburg is a small city, but by no means an insignificant one. This is a place that is such an exemplary showcase of Baroque architecture that the entire city is a World Heritage Site. As if that weren't enough, it's a naturally scenic city at the foot of the majestic Alps, making every day a visual adventure as well as the cultural experience of a lifetime. This backdrop alone seems to lend an air of magic and wonder to even the smallest activity in the city, like eating world-famous pastries in one of the many coffee shops that line the streets. It's a special place to be – buy Salzburg event tickets on StubHub and step straight into a new world.

Magical entertainment history in Salzburg

Salzburg is perhaps best known as being the birthplace of Mozart and his spirit pervades the city, with hundreds of theatre companies, concert halls, opera houses and ensembles paying tribute to this musical colossus in one way or another. Buying Salzburg event tickets on StubHub affords will give you instant access to this revered world. Booking a performance of the Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra is a great place to start your exploration. Classic theatre productions also come to life in this city, and it has played host to many of them over the years, while opera has had more than its fair share of attention, as you would expect. Make sure to check out the likes of Salomé Salzburg when you're casting around for tickets to buy. Of course Austria also evokes everything that we love about that evergreen musical movie, "The Sound of Music", so it's only fitting that you can catch performances at the world-renowned and utterly quaint Salzburg Marionette Theatre too.

Big arenas and intimate venues in Salzburg

Salzburg is by no means an entirely old-fashioned city, however. Its nightclubs can be as loud as those in Paris, and it has the same huge music concert arenas and sports stadiums as you would find in any major city. The Salzburg Arenais one such venue. Look out for touring bands and major sporting events for the time when you're expecting to be in the city. You're virtually guaranteed to find something right up your alley that will make for an epic night out. At the other end of the entertainment spectrum in terms of scale, the highly prolific Felsenreitschule has developed a reputation for variety and for putting on thought-provoking musical and theatre productions. It's become quite the institution in a city that isn't short of these, most of which are laden with centuries of history and pedigree. Salzburg event tickets will ensure you don't miss any of it.

Vienna beckons too

Reaching other Austrian cities is quite easy. Graz is not far away, and of course the epicentre of European culture is almost directly east – Vienna. Because Salzburg is in the far east of Austria, the closest city to it is actually Munich in Germany, so when you've finished your short tour of Austria, skip across to one of Europe's most famous cities. StubHub will make it easy for you to find all the events there as well.
