Hangar-7
Wilhelm-Spazier-Strasse 7A, Salzburg, Salzburg, 5020
A gleaming steel and glass structure, shaped like the wing of a plane with two cylindrical towers, Hangar-7 shimmers over Salzburg Airport. It’s the home of Red Bull’s aerobatics team, and houses the brand’s eclectic collection of aircraft, Red Bull racing team cars, and other high-adrenaline memorabilia, plus drinking and dining venues.
The basics
Hangar-7 broke new architectural ground when it was built at the turn of the century. The clear structure spans almost 330 feet (100 meters) without a single supporting column and offers impressive views out to the mountains. Exhibits pay tribute to the world of Red Bull, which has its headquarters outside Salzburg, from Felix Baumgartner’s stratospheric parachute jump and Channel glider crossing to champion racing cars and vintage aircraft. The towers house restaurants, bars, and lounges.

Adventures Around Salzburg
The city of Mozart might not seem a plausible home base for Red Bull’s daredevil adventurers, but there are plenty of high-adrenaline thrills to enjoy in and around the city. Try a tandem paraglide from Mt. Bischling; scale the City Wall via ferrata fixed-route climb; or go white-water rafting on the Salzach River.
