Salzburg Marathon

In late May, Salzburg's old town is just waking into spring, with the fortress glowing over the river and the Mirabell Gardens in bloom—perfect for a post-race stroll. The marathon route itself winds past baroque facades and along the Salzach, making the distance feel like a moving postcard. Refuel with a slice of Salzburger Nockerl and a crisp local beer in a beer garden, where the season's first warm evenings invite you to linger.
