2009 Festivals of the Salzburg Global Seminar
Welcome to Salzburg Global Seminar Festivals! You are cordially invited to leave behind the 21st century hustle-and-bustle for an enriching, leisurely week in Salzburg, Austria – the heart in the Heart of Europe. The Festivals have been designed for our Fellows that have always wanted to return with their family and friends to share the magical ambience of Schloss Leopoldskron.
From the moment Salzburg Global Seminar Festival guests arrive, they can partake in lectures, enjoy concerts in charming Salzburg, visit the beautiful surroundings of Salzburg, renew friendships and make new acquaintances from around the world.

What have others said about Festivals?
This may be the best European trip I have ever made. The facilities are elegant, the food exceptional and the service excellent. The group was wonderful and the program fulfilling.
I would not change anything. It was a perfect mix of education, culture and fun.
The best, treated royally, The Schloss Leopoldskron is at the top of my list for places to stay.
