This city is famous not only as part of the world’s cultural heritage with its historic old town, but also as a lively international cultural centre with Easter and Summer Festivals. The city’s most famous son is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there on 27 January 1756. Salzburg is surrounded by a fantastic landscape of lakes and mountains, which also formed the set for the film “The Sound of Music.” In recent years, the city, which has a population of 150,000, has made a name for itself as the venue of major international sports events. Three group matches will be staged at Salzburg’s Wals-Siezenheim stadium, home to SC Austria Salzburg (capacity: 30,000).
