Salzburg is a great place to explore on foot

Salzburg is probably best known as Mozart’s birthplace, as well as for its magnificent Old Town. The main landmark is the Hohensalzburg fortress which dates back to the Middle Ages and which sits imposingly above the city; it is the largest, most perfectly preserved fortress in Central Europe.

Concerts

Our excellent contacts in Salzburgerland mean that we can provide marvellous performing opportunities for all group types.

Most small towns, such as St Wolfgang and St Gilgen, have covered music pavilions which are suitable for some of the larger symphonic wind bands and even small orchestras. We work closely with some of the picturesque churches in the small Alpine villages, such as Flachau, where a warm welcome is assured. An impromptu recital may be given by choirs with a sacred repertoire in Salzburg cathedral, while the Mirabell Gardens give bands the opportunity to perform in this grand and beautiful city.

Where to stay

Popular places to stay.

We use a number of high quality youth centres in the region. One such is the Markushof in Wagrain. Thanks to substantial investment by the Riepler family, the house (100 beds) boasts high standards of catering and accommodation. It has extensive leisure facilities and is in a quiet location only about a kilometre from the village centre. The rooms are 2-8 bedded (single and bunk beds) and all have shower and toilet. There are a new tuck shop and leaders’ suites.

FAQs

Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

The most pleasant times of year to come to Europe are May to September, therefore you may wish to consider this when planning your tour. Summer temperatures across Europe range from 18-35 degrees Celsius. European cities in winter can also offer many interesting cultural experiences that you may enjoy.

Travelling by coach is the most economical and flexible way to tour. Be collected from your meeting point and arrive at your destination in comfort on air-conditioned, high specification coaches. Enjoy the freedom of your own vehicle whilst on tour and travel in comfort with reclining seats and toilet. More and more groups choose to fly. We can arrange your flights from your local airport as well as from London. Once you have arrived at your destination, we can provide transfers to your accommodation and local coach hire throughout your music tour.

We work hard to generate excellent attendance at each concert, as we understand that an appreciative audience makes all the difference. We produce eye-catching posters and handbills, which are displayed and distributed in the environs of your concerts. We also advertise your concerts in online and hard copy local What’s On Guides as well as newspapers, by way of press releases. In addition, we invite local dignitaries, music societies and music students to your concerts. Last but not least, we provide you with posters for your concerts, which will be displayed in your coach and placed on your Club Europe poster board at your venue by your tour manager before each concert.
