About this school trip

Salzburg lies on the Salzach at the foot of the Alps and is world-famous as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. 2026 marks 270 years since his birth. The old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For lower and upper secondary students, Salzburg is a varied destination for exploring music, tourism and geography.

On the Getreidegasse you visit Mozart's birthplace, and around the city you follow in his footsteps past squares and churches. High above the city stands the Hohensalzburg Fortress, from where your students enjoy a sweeping view over the city and the mountains. An excursion into the surrounding area shows how the Alpine landscape was formed and what role tourism plays in the region's economy: great material for geography.

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your students to Salzburg. It is a long journey, so we spread the drive over the day with plenty of rest breaks or plan an overnight stop on the way. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver you travel safely, including on excursions into the mountains.
