Mattsee is the name of both a lake and a town in Austria. Mattsee is one of three lakes in what is called the Trumer Seenland, or lake region. These lakes are the perfect picture of Austrian natural beauty: they are clear and vibrantly blue, with cute Alpine towns dotting their shores and snow-capped mountains rising from behind. While it is the perfect place to relax, it is also an area full of activities and excitement. Like nearby Salzburg, Mattsee has its own music festival and theater festival each year. There are many opportunities to be out on the lake, whether you are swimming or boating. Hiking and biking are also another great way to explore the area. Read on for some of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in and around Mattsee!

With lovely views of the lake and a cozy and comfortable interior, this apartment is the perfect jumping off point for all there is to see in the area! Up to four people can stay in this apartment using a double bed and the pull out couch. There is also a kitchen and an outdoor grill that can be used in the summer time. The apartment is only 20 km (12 miles) away from Salzburg, which means you can spend one or more days of your trip in this beautiful city. Salzburg’s striking skyline against the Alps would not be complete without the Fortress Hohensalzburg. This landmark is also an integral part of the city’s history and was first built in the 11th-century to demonstrate the political authority and power of the prince bishops. It is definitely a place to visit to get a sense of Salzburg’s culture!

Mattsee is a must-see!
While it can be thrilling to stay in the hustle and bustle of a big city like Salzburg, consider staying nearby in a smaller town like Mattsee. The city can easily be reached by any form of transportation so you can spend as much of your trip as you’d like exploring Salzburg. However, you will likely find yourself enjoying the slower pace of the lake region, without feeling like you missed out on anything. In fact, you might find there’s even more to do in the Trumer Seenland than you thought!
