About Salzburg

Salzburg was ruled for centuries by prince-archbishops who gave the city its baroque churches, palaces and squares. It is the birthplace of Mozart, and the Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A hilltop fortress overlooks the river, with the Alps rising beyond the city.

TravelDaddy verdictSmall, musical and beautifully set.

A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
