Send Flowers to Salzburg, Austria

Mozart's birthplace is small enough to cross on foot and famous enough to fill with visitors all year. The baroque old town, squeezed between the Mönchsberg and the river Salzach beneath the Hohensalzburg fortress, is a World Heritage Site, with the Mirabell Gardens on the opposite bank. Much of the centre is pedestrian, so a phone number for the recipient is especially useful there.

Most residents live outside the tourist core: in Nonntal and Riedenburg close to the centre, in Maxglan, Lehen and Liefering to the west, in Aigen and Parsch with their villas on the eastern side, and in Gnigl and Itzling to the north. The university, the Mozarteum music academy and the regional hospital bring students, musicians and medical staff from abroad.

Flower delivery in Salzburg follows the same rule as everywhere in Austria: order before midnight local time for delivery the next day, Monday to Saturday, with no service on Sundays or public holidays. The Salzburg Festival in July and August is a classic occasion to send flowers to performers and guests at hotels, so name the hotel and the guest exactly as booked. The city is known for its persistent fine rain, which the locals call Schnürlregen, and for its Advent market on the cathedral square.
