“There is no better companion for those who aim to be travelling without a destination than the author, columnist and publisher Christian Seiler, who elevates strolling to an everyday art. On six walks, he strolls through the city, which he knows is well known, but from which he nevertheless gains new perspectives. Only by walking does such a conversation get going, which Seiler conducts with himself by means of anecdotes, memories and associations,” explains publisher Andreas Gfrerer. “Ingo Pertramers distanced, associative visual language seems to tell its own story – stubborn, sceptical and attentive at the same time.”

“Salzburg is a city of many certainties and astonishing discoveries. You only have to look at the baroque wonders long enough, seek new perspectives and be ready for a knowing smile at any time. Then this city reveals itself with splendour, magnificence – and all its charming dark sides,” says Christian Seiler.
