Salzburg
The World's Stage
With its magnificent location surrounded by snow-capped mountains and its dainty avenues lined with elegant homes, it is easy to see where Mozart found his inspiration. The natural beauty is equally matched by the meticulous city, certainly among the world's most beautiful.
Take a tour of the city in a horse-drawn buggy and be enthralled by the imprint that the Middle Ages, Romanesque, Baroque and Renaissance periods have left on the architecture. Visit Festun Hohensalzburg, the castle on the rocks, or the Residenz, a series of palaces dating from 1120.
Stroll along Salzburg's Mirabellgarten where some scenes from the movie 'The Sound of Music' were filmed. Visit the birthplace of Mozart and his former residence - both of which have been restored to capture the everyday life of the composer and his family. Head to Altermarkt, noted for its fabulous dining, or listen to the sounds of the Glockenspiel, the ringing of 35 bells, while relaxing at a café on Mozartplatz.
