City Rally in Salzburg – Team Building, Sightseeing and Team Challenge in One
Our city rally in Salzburg combines exciting puzzles, modern technology and exploring the city together into a varied team event. In small teams, participants compete against each other and collect as many points as possible within the given time. A special highlight on your route: Hohensalzburg Fortress.
Equipped with a tablet PC and our specially developed event app, the teams set off on a varied route through Salzburg. Along the way they discover not only well-known sights and historic squares, but also hidden corners that many visitors would otherwise miss.
At every station new challenges await: sometimes knowledge and logical thinking are required, sometimes creativity, skill or team spirit. The programme is rounded off with entertaining photo and video challenges that provide plenty of fun and unforgettable memories.
Because many tasks are tailored specifically to Salzburg, participants get to know the city in a playful way while experiencing an exciting competition with the other teams. Through clever route planning and good cooperation, additional points can be earned – here it’s not only the right answers that count, but also strategy and teamwork.
GPS City Rally in Salzburg – Why here?
Salzburg, the festival city on the Salzach River, enchants with its baroque old town, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996.

Located between Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg, the Austrian cultural metropolis offers a unique setting for unforgettable team events.
The compact UNESCO World Heritage old town is ideal for a rally on foot. Around 50 challenges lead your team through winding alleys, across baroque squares and along the Salzach River.
