 Salzburg is the
most beautiful city of Austria and perhaps the most
splendid urban creation in the world. A city in the
mountains - a city of music, art and architecture.
Salzburg is like a piece of baroque Italy miraculously
transferred north of the Alps. Its whole inspiration
is southern but one example of German romanticism
remains - the Castle, or Festung, which perches on the
peak of a hill; dominating the city. From the Festung
one looks out over the city, to a magnificent mountain
landscape. Salzburg is also a holiday city, one in
which the unique atmosphere can be savoured as its
pleasures are enjoyed. Some visitors will make for
Mozart's birthplace, others the lofty Hohensalzburg
fortress - reached by funicular - the Leopoldskron
Palace of Sound of Music fame or the Mirabell
Garden. There are festivals and concerts in plenty,
and everywhere the inviting street cafes.

 Munich is the third largest

that is of interest to the visitor is to be
found in a compact central area which has the
main station at its western corner.
