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.
