In this episode of the Free Walking Tour Podcast, you are going to find out everything there is to know about the Salzburg Festival from the festival's history, to the present, to its meaning for locals and tourist and how to buy tickets when visiting Salzburg. The Festival Hall is one of the places we pass by on the Free Walking Tour Salzburg but from the outside you won't notice the importance of the festival for Salzburg. The Festival District is not the busy area of the city. You would only notice the festival right before or after the shows in July and August.
