 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.

 Past and future meet in Innsbruck,
the capital of Tirol in the
heart of the Alps, where Innsbruck’s
world-famous sights, which testify to the
Tirol province’s great past, stand alongside
post-modern international architecture to
create a fascinating blend. Innsbruck's
enchanting old town, the Imperial Palace,
Ambras Palace, Ottoburg and the Wilten
Basilica all tell of Innsbruck’s eventful
past and its great figures including
Philippine Welser, the secret wife of
Archduke Ferdinand I, Andreas Hofer, the
Tirolean freedom fighter, and last but not
least Emperor Maximilian I, who built many
of the monuments that survive today, e.g.
the Golden Roof and his tomb at the Imperial
Church. Innsbruck is scenically squeezed
between two impressive mountain chains and
an absolute must on every visit to Innsbruck
is a gondola ride up Seegrube (2000m) from
where you enjoy spectacular views of the Inn
valley and the surrounding mountains.
