Salzburg

Get to know Salzburg

This enchanting Austrian portrait of fairytale-like prettiness is an exquisite synthesis of baroque architecture and temperate geography. Salzburg's compositions of shape and colour seize the breath, whether amid the pastel spires of the Altstadt's palaces and cathedrals, or the lush Lake District, complete with elegant swans. It's no wonder that these landscapes nurtured Mozart's genius, and during its annual Festival, Salzburg's hills truly come alive with the sound of music.
