Salzburg

Tucked into a valley along the winding River Salzach, surrounded by green rolling hills, Salzburg is one of the prettiest cities in Europe. An ancient city dating back thousands of years, Salzburg is a wonderful, small city that is easy to explore on foot, with something on offer for everyone! Wander the charming cobblestone streets and gaze up at the beautifully preserved Baroque buildings. Explore the mighty Hohensalzburg Fortress and stroll through the gorgeous Mirabell Gardens. When hunger calls, visit one of the characterful restaurants and enjoy a hearty Austrian meal of schnitzel and dumplings with a freshly brewed local beer to wash it down. Capture the proud musical history of the area by making a pilgrimage to the house where composer Mozart was born or enjoy a classical concert by candlelight in a historic concert hall. Those who can sing ‘doe, ray, me‘ may also recognise a range of classical backdrops for the beloved film The Sound of Music. Salzburg is such a magical city, don’t be surprised if you burst into song as you wander the streets just as the Von Trapps did many years ago.
