Car rental in Salzburg

Salzburg, the 'City of Mozart', has much to offer the car rental traveller. Just pick up your car rental at the airport, and head off into the surrounding countryside.

This region of Austria is famed around the world as the backdrop for the film 'The Sound of Music'. Car rental is perfect for exploring the panoramic Alpine scenery, and film buffs can visit various places that are recognisable from the movie. Among these are Anif Palace, St. Gilgen and Lake Wolfgang.

Stunning Castle Hohenwerfen is also well worth a car rental journey. A tour of this impressive fortress will take you back to courtly life in the 11th century. A car rental visit here can include a look at the ancient weapons' collection, a birds of prey flying display, and a trip to the Falconry Museum. There is also a medieval shop and historic themed taverns.

Car rental will also help you reach the Werfen Ice Caves. These amazing natural wonders are the largest of their type in the world, and are just 36 km from Salzburg. A cable car takes you up the Alps to the entrance of the caves, which extend into the mountains some 40 km high.

The Salt Mine at Durrnberg also makes for a thrilling car rental trip. Only 34 km from the city centre, you can travel down into the mines on a gliding wooden slide, and take a raft across a subterranean salt lake. The salt from this region is what gives 'Salzburg' its name.
