About What's Up in Salzburg.
Hi, I’m Larissa, originally from Brazil, but I’ve called Salzburg home for the past eight years. I first came here to dance at the theater, and that experience deeply shaped how I see the city. Culture isn’t just something I appreciate - it’s part of who I am.
When I arrived, I kept hearing that Salzburg is boring. Honestly? I couldn’t disagree more. This city is bursting with life, from its growing food scene to its vibrant cultural events. The only problem is a lot of it happens quietly, almost like Salzburg’s best-kept secret.
That’s why I started Whats Up In Salzburg, to gather all the good stuff in one place - the food, the festivals, the hidden gems, and the cultural moments that make Salzburg more than just Mozart and pretty views. What started as a hobby in order to share tips with my friends has now grown into a community of people who love Salzburg’s culture as much as I do.
So whether you find this website while planning your first trip or you call Salzburg your home, I hope it helps you discover a side of Salzburg that’s vibrant, delicious, and full of surprises.
Let’s keep exploring - the city is full of secrets, and I’m always up for the ride.

1st Post as WhatsUpInSalzburg
WhatsUpInSalzburg started as a guide for friends. I was always researching what was happening and somehow knew about every gig, brunch spot, and hidden event in the city. What began as casual tips shared over coffee turned into a growing community of people who want to experience the real Salzburg.
