Cheap Car Rental Salzburg

Take a rental car to Salzburg and drive through a city filled with history and culture

Salzburg, the city of Mozart and festivals opens up to visitors just like a stage would. The baroque old town with its towers and domes is surrounded by the green hills of Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg. High above the city is the fortress Hohensalzburg.

In the old town you will find a great number of historical buildings that are worth seeing. After walking past an old fountain, plazas and narrow alleys you will be enchanted by it all.  

Mirabell Palace, a must see

The rental car is best parked in the area around Mirabell Palace on the other side of the river. From there you can also start off with the first highlight of your stay in Salzburg. Mirabell Palace is not only unique because of its splendor, but also because of its history.  A handsome Archbishop built this palace in the 17th century for himself, his lover and his many children. Even the gardens of Mirabell Palace have remained almost unchanged during the last three hundred years and are proof of the riches and wealth. Every visitor has to marvel at them. Be enchanted by the view while driving your rental car.

Those that want to learn more about the times of luxury, opulence and grandeur should take a look around the Baroque Museum. Exhibits from the 17th century show the history of the origins of great works. Be an independent traveler thanks to your rental car.

The birthplace of one of the world's best composers, Mozart

This makes it a bit hard to move around sometimes, but visiting is worth it anyway.  Those that still have not had enough should visit the Mozarteum, here a little show about the great composer is held and you can see his works played in a puppet theater. Get your rental car to experience memorable vacation.
