Salzburg

Overview

This Baroque city, dominated by a 900 year old castle, is set against a magical backdrop of spectacular mountains, forests and rivers. Home of Mozart, the city is rich in music, art, history, charm and romance. In the compact Old Town the ancient, narrow cobbled streets contrast with grand historic buildings which in turn overlook elegant squares. The famous Summer Festival is the musical highlight but there are also classical and jazz concerts throughout the year. Why not combine your stay in Salzburg with a few days in Vienna?
