So close and so different: two hours by train separate Wien and Salzburg. To the east, the imperial Habsburg metropolis, a melting pot of ethnicities and cultures that has always been the cradle of cultural experimentation; to the west, the cultured, romantic and on a human scale Salzburg.
The two cities share the same artistic and architectonical heritage, the same historical passion for music and the strong vocation for conviviality – bars and pastry shops, breweries and cafes??? tables, spas, ski slopes in the outskirts. Both of them believe in a necessary environmental awareness, that list them as virtuous with the pressing current issues.

The Doric temples of Paestum are just the starting point to discover a piece of heaven in the south of Italy. It has the right stuff to become one of the most celebrated area of Italy: art, history, gastronomy, nature and literature. The sea is one of the cleanest of Italy and the coast competes with the beauty with her “sister”: the Amalfi coast. There are many parks such as the National Park of Cilento or Diano Valley. Here you can play different water sports, but also trekking, mountain bike, canyoning and birdwatching. You can also find a huge gastronomic heritage: mozzarella di bufala, Paestum’s artichokes, Pisciotta’s oil and the wine with a Mediterranean aftertaste.
To produce, innovate, move, test: this is the spirit of the cosmopolite and modern Milan Dynamic, chaotic, lively and fascinating. It is an art and history heritage city, hotbed for culture and vanguard.
