About Salzburg 

The Austrian city of Salzburg is known for its elegance and sophistication, boasting a rich culture, stunning architecture and a couple of big claims to fame. One, of course, is its feature in the iconic movie, Sound of Music. The other is being the birthplace of famous composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. If neither of these are enough to entice you, the natural scenery might be. Salzburg is surrounded by mountains that provide a stunning alpine backdrop and is situated right on the Salzach River, which adds a unique, fairytale charm. 

Salzburg has a rich history, with the city dating all the way back to 696. The evidence of times gone by has been amazingly well preserved, especially the Baroque architecture and town center, which was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1996. However, just because the city’s history is evident as you stroll the winding lanes and cobblestone streets, doesn’t mean it hasn’t also progressed into a thriving, modern city. The city’s university has drawn a younger crowd who bring vibrance and zest. There’s a range of trendy bars and eateries on the river and the city even has an energetic nightlife for those who are interested.
