Why Visit Salzburg
Hohensalzburg Fortress, one of the largest and best-preserved medieval castles in Europe, towers over the city and offers panoramic views of the surrounding Alps and valleys.
Mozart's Geburtshaus (birthplace) and Wohnhaus (later residence) are both open as museums on Getreidegasse and the Makartplatz respectively.
The Salzkammergut lake district, easily reached from Salzburg, features the picturesque village of Hallstatt — a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the shores of a deep Alpine lake.
