Salzburg - Salzburg

Salzburg is Austria’s fourth largest city, and its second most visited after Vienna. It is an ideal destination for a cultural sightseeing tour and enjoys a dramatic setting of mountains, valleys and lakes - the backdrop for much of The Sound of Music - and some of the finest examples of baroque architecture in Europe. Today, Salzburg is not only known for being the hometown of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-91), but also offers his birth-house and his later residence house to see and a lot of Mozart-related souvenirs to buy.

During the winter months Salzburg is a snowy wonderland – where locals pack cosy bars or outdoor gluwein stands, when they’re not off on skiing trips to the nearby Alps.

In summer the pastel-coloured baroque buildings take on a brighter hue and thousands of culture tourists descend for the Salzburg festival of music and drama.

The name of the town Såizburg means “Salt Castle”
