Comprised of internationally renowned baroque architecture and one of the best-preserved city centers in Europe. All of this combined with the alps as its backdrop make for an unforgettable setting. Salzburg's two claims to fame are as the birthplace of Mozart and the stage for the American musical, the Sound of Music.

thinking out of traveling and left us with only the task of enjoying
the traveling. It saved us a lot of stress and planning, having someone
who is familiar with region is always helpful." |

Salzburg is as much known for its charming Old Town as its natural surroundings. No trip to Salzburg is complete without a visit to the unspoilt countryside nearby including sights such as the Hellbrunn Palace and further afield to Berchtesgaden, home to Hitler's eagle's nest. Salzburg has a very festive atmosphere throughout the year with many classical music performances, outdoor summer festivals and a beautiful Chrismas market. The best of traditional Austrian cuisine can be found throughout the city and the local white wines as well as local beers are worth sampling.
