Charming Salzburg lies in the valley of the Salzach River among the picturesque Alps. The hills located within the city offer breathtaking views of the mountain range – covered with silver snow in winter and emerald green in summer.
Salzburg is the birthplace of the incomparable Mozart, the birthplace of his musical genius. The city has a large number of concert halls and temples where classical music is played. In summer, Salzburg hosts the iconic Opera Festival, which attracts the best performers from all over the world.
The streets of Salzburg are mixed with medieval and Baroque architecture, which gives the city a unique and charming appearance. The austere Romanesque appearance of the Hohensalzburg fortress is diluted by the symmetrical lines of classical cathedrals and Baroque mansions, and narrow stone streets contrast with the wide green lawns of the palace landscape parks.
