5. Take a Trip to Innsbruck: Austria’s Olympic City
A pleasant two-hour train (or car) ride southwest of Salzburg, the former Winter Olympic city of Innsbruck is well worth exploring. Idyllically located in the wide Inn Valley, Innsbruck has long been one of Austria’s most visited tourist destinations, whatever the season.
6. Climb Every Mountain: Kitzbühel
A little under 90 minutes’ drive southwest of Salzburg is one of Austria’s largest and most popular ski resorts, Kitzbühel. Often referred to simply as «Kitz,» Kitzbühel is as popular in summer as it is in winter, thanks to fun things to do such as hiking, biking, and golf. Perched on a long ridge of hills, this picturesque medieval town is a treat to explore, with its narrow streets and centuries-old gabled houses.
