Welcome to Salzburg

Salzburg is the capital of the federal state of the same name and the fourth-largest city in Austria. Salzburg is the birthplace of Mozart and the filming location for „The Sound of Music“.
The narrow streets and wide squares of the old town are a UNESCO world cultural heritage. The city is characterized by Italian architecture
and therefore known as the „Rome of the North“.
The world-famous Salzburg Festival and the beautiful panorama make Salzburg an incomparable and charming destination.
