Salzburg, Austria

Salzburg Austria

Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, is located on the border of Austria and Germany. The Salzach River divides Salzburg's old and new towns. The old town is remarkable and compact, centered around the expansive Residenzplatz and is primarily a pedestrian area. The relatively new town is centered around Mirabellplatz and Markartplatz. Salzburg's striking hills emerge directly from the old town. The most noticeable hilltop fortification is the Hohensalzburg, constructed over centuries on an ancient Celtic and Roman site, and is now the largest fully preserved medieval castle in Europe. For a different kind of grandeur, visit the Schloss Mirabell and its Gardens, situated right next to the Salzach River and the Mozarteum University of Music and Arts. The castle was built by an archbishop for his beloved courtesan. You can stroll through lavish rose and flower gardens and admire the stone dwarves in the Zwerglgarten. To learn about Mozart and his life, visit his Geburtshaus, Mozart's birth house. The street itself is worth seeing, with the guild signs and painted wall decorations remaining much as they were at the time of Mozart’s birth. The house displays pictures, letters, and stage sets from the various operas Mozart composed. Surrounded by forested mountains, Salzburg is a city of magic whose spirit is expressed in some of the world's most divine music, composed by its favorite son, Mozart. The era that gave birth to the unparalleled musical genius of Mozart also constructed the beautiful castles and churches of Salzburg, and fostered a love of music that continues today in Salzburg's numerous concert series and annual summer festival.
