Situated right in the heart of Austria, Salzburg was an independent state from the rest of the country until 1816. It is synonymous with music as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born here. It hosts the annual Salzburg Festival, which showcases many operas and attracts millions every year. Salzburg is also where 'The Sound of Music' was filmed. From stunning architecture to picturesque mountains to world famous attractions, there are lots of things to see and do in and around Salzburg. The city's Old Town is filled with spectacular examples of baroque architecture. This can be seen in the Salzburg Cathedral, along with a host of other buildings. Also in the Old Town, you'll find Getreidegasse. This is Salzburg's main shopping street and is famous for the often ornate, wrought iron guild signs displayed by each store. Also on this street, you can see Mozart's birthplace. |
