Salzburgarena is a multi-functional hall situated in Liefering, a district of Salzburg, Austria. It is a venue for concerts, sporting events and due to flexible seating arrangements, there is space for up to 6,700[2] people. The venue was opened with a concert by the Vienna Philharmonic, conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, on 7 December 2003.
The Salzburgarena has the largest wooden dome of Western Austria[3] and it is directly connected to the Messezentrum Salzburg via an indoor access. Therefore, it is possible to combine these two locations for an event. Every year about 65 events which take place at the Salzburgarena attract more than 100,000 visitors.[4]
The Salzburgarena is a Blackbox (without daylight) and free of pillars.[5]
The Salzburgarena can be reached with bus No. 1 from the main station and from the city centre. The bus goes every 10 minutes and stops directly in front of the main station.
