In the list of fascinating world destinations,Salzburg – More Than Meets the Eye! Articles Austria may not be among the most flamboyant or immediately memorable. However, the central European country and its two major cities – Vienna and Salzburg – have a certain sort of quaint, understated charm which, when blended with the historical and cultural heritage of the country, makes a visit well worth the effort.

What many tourists flying into Austria may not be aware of, however, is that their enjoyment of the country can begin the moment they leave the airport. This is particularly true in Salzburg, where newly-arrived visitors can enjoy a number of attractions even before embarking on the transfers from Salzburg airport that will take them to the city centre. In fact the fun can commence mere moments after getting off the plane, thanks to any of the attractions listed below.

Stock Up On Brands

Directly next to the airport, for example, tourists will find a large shopping outlet, offering designer clothes at factory prices. While they should be careful not to spend their entire holiday budget in this one place, designer-clothing enthusiasts will not want to miss out on the opportunity of visiting this outlet first thing after leaving the plane - ensuring their luggage load has increased by the time they get on to their transfers from Salzburg airport!

A Dose Of Culture

Those less interested in the material aspect of a holiday and more in the cultural will not be left wanting, either. A mere mile from the hotels surrounding the airport – which almost does away with the need to use transfers from Salzburg airport to get there – visitors will find a historical hangar that doubles as a museum. The Red Bull Hangar-7 is a cultural venue where patrons can dine to the sound of symphonies from prodigal son Mozart at one of the Mozart Dinner Concerts. The Stiegl-Brauwelt brewery and museum and the Red Bull Arena, home of the city's football team, are also easy to access from the airport, each sitting roughly two miles away.

It's clear to see that when arriving in this lovely city, a holiday in Austria can begin even before visitors get to their accommodation. Of course, once they do get there, plenty of additional landmarks, shops, bars and restaurants await them, which they will not want to miss – but these preliminary locations can give a slightly different touch to the holiday, making it even more memorable.
