About Salzburg

Situated close to Germany’s border, Salzburg is one of the most visited destinations in Austria. Wherever you look, you will see some fantastic views of the Alps. No matter the season you visit, you will be greeted by different facets of the city’s postcard-perfect mountain views. But it’s not only the jaw-dropping views that attract visitors to explore this picturesque city.

Salzburg is known for being the hometown of Mozart, one of the greatest classical music composers. He was born in 1756 at Getreidegasse no. 9, which has been a museum since 1880 and has been attracting visitors from near and far ever since. Even if you are not a classical music fan, it is worth it to spare about an hour to learn more about the heritage Mozart left after passing away at the age of just 35.
