  The
special attraction of Lindau is its island
setting at the most scenic part of Lake
Constance - a 40 mile long inland waterway, the
third largest lake in Central Europe, linking
Germany with Austria and Switzerland. Two
causeways connect this handsome little town to
the mainland - one for road traffic and one
conveys the railway to a convenient point near
the harbour Behind the 'Seepromenede" and
roughly parallel with it, you find a couple of
main shopping streets and the historic core of
this ancient town. Steamers ply from Lindau to
Bregenz and Konstanz and the smaller places of
interest dotted around the lake. Meersburg is of
particular attraction. There's plenty of
interest in Lindau.

  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 city
in Germany, but as a holiday destination it is a
splendid and exciting experience. Much 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. Architecturally it houses
such famous examples as the Nymphenburg Palace:
