Explore Mozart's birthplace with Sixt car rental Salzburg

Situated on the banks of the Salzach River just north of the alps, Salzburg is one of the most picturesque cities you will ever have the privilege of encountering - and in case you didn't already know was the setting for the famous musical 'The Sound of Music'. Salzburg is also well known as the birthplace of the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and the city is not shy about showing this off. During your time here you will be able to visit his official birthplace and find his face plastered on almost everything; from mugs, posters and even his chocolate balls. The city of Salzburg itself is rather small and most major attractions are manageable to reach and explore by foot. If you are feeling active you can take the ascent up to the Festung Hohensalzburg, an impressive fortress which overlooks the city and offers incredible views of the Alps and rolling plains which surround the city. Once you are done with the centre, our car hire Salzburg services will allow you to break away from the city and explore the stunning surrounding areas. Within 45 minutes by car hire you can drive to Chiemsee - a large lake just over the German boarder and home to Herrenchiemsee, one of King Ludwig's amazing castles. Taking your Salzburg hire car a little bit further will take you over to Munich - one of Germany's most beautiful cities and where Sixt was founded, so we are a little biased. As this city is situated perfectly for further exploration you may be pleased to hear that Sixt car hire Salzburg offers the option of unlimited mileage, SAT NAV systems, breakdown cover and third party insurance to ensure you can travel without restriction or worry.
