The study center of Salzburg College is located at Ursulinenplatz 4, in the heart of the old city. With a population of about 140,000, Salzburg is situated on the northern edge of the eastern Alps and close to the German border. Surrounded by picturesque mountains, the city still mirrors in its historical center over a thousand years of European history and culture. Its rich musical heritage is reflected in a great variety of concerts and other musical events held throughout the year.
Ideally located for travel, Salzburg is less than four hours by train from Vienna, only two hours from Munich, and an overnight train ride from Paris or Venice. Several Eastern European countries are within easy reach.

The study center of Salzburg College is located in the heart of the Old City. It occupies a 16th century town house, situated on Ursulinenplatz, a small square, flanked by a historic city gate and one of Salzburg's famous Baroque churches. From the top floor library, there is a spectacular view of the city, across the street are the pleasant embankments of the Salzach river. The five-story building includes classrooms, offices, library, lounge, and dining room, music practice space, photo labs and an art studio that can also serve as a gallery. Students have classes, study, and take their lunches at Ursulinenplatz.
The close vicinity of public, educational and cultural institutions, allows for easy integration of classroom study and on-site experience which is a major objective of the Salzburg College program. The University Library and other research facilities (e.g. Mozart Archives) are all located in walking distance. Ursulinenplatz is also just down the street from the main intersecting point of the Salzburg public bus system which will greatly facilitate the commuting to and from the Austrian host family homes.
