Salzburg is one of the most renowned cities in Austria and Europe, and has possibly the best-preserved old town centre full of beautiful baroque architecture which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This charming Austrian town is most famous for being the birthplace of the classical composer Mozart, but has so much more in terms of historical sights and fun attractions.

Must-see attractions and activities: Mirabell Palace and Gardens, Getreidegasse and Mozart’s birthplace, Mozart square and Mozart statue, Salzburg cathedral, Hohensalzburg Fortress and the Saint Peter’s abbey.

For longer stays we suggest to conclude your stay with the following day trips:

• Sound of Music Tour which includes original shooting locations from The Sound of Music movie such as the Mirabell gardens, Schloss Leopoldskron, Nonnberg Convent, Hellbrunn Palace and Church Mondsee.
• You might also want to cross the German border to visit Kingslake, Hitlers‘ Eagles Nest in Berchtesgaden or the more than 500-year-old Salt Mine in Berchtesgaden.
