 Stylish cinema near the airport |
Kasernenstraße 5a Salzburg 5073 Austria +43 662 8501010 http://www.cineplexx.at |
Ever since the Cineplexx Entertainment Centre opened its doors right next to the Salzburg Airport, it has attracted hundreds and thousands of visitors every day. More than 18 up to date movies flicker across the huge screens here every day. The halls are extremely large, but still very comfortable (the seats are the best!). Unfortunately the Cineplexx is rather hard to reach, as it is quite a way away from the city centre. But it's the worth the journey, as you can spend the whole evening there. But careful - you might get caught in a bar before you even see the movie!!! Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Austria's biggest folk music festival |
Verein Insel, Mauttorpromenade 6 Pernerinsel Salzburg 5400 Austria +43 6245 853940 http://www.folkfestival.or.at |
Every year in October the sleepy little village of Hallein, located some 10km south of Salzburg, is invaded by thousands of revelers. Founded in 1988, the Hallein International Folk Festival is now the biggest event of its kind in the country. Not all festival-goers are folk music aficionados though, and plenty of people are just here for a good time. The festival attracts folk bands from all over Europe including the likes of Portuguese brass bands, Gypsy singers, Irish folk groups and Bavarian oompah bands. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Entertainment at its best |
Anton Neumayr-Platz 2 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 843448 http://www.szene-salzburg.net |
Everything began in postwar times when a cinemascope-cinema was established in this building with 600 seats. A bizarre mixture of cinema, concerts and sporting events like boxing took place in the modest building in the heart of the city until 1985. Then the Szene-Festival, a sort of alternative to the Salzburg Festival, started with events claiming to change to avantgarde and experiment in art, music, theatre, concerts, cabaret and above all dance. Events have taken place throughout the year here since 1993. The mixture of events offers a lot of opportunities to be entertained in the true sense of the word and to get an overview of different contemporary areas of art. Review © 2007, Wcities |
