Birthplace of Mozart, home to the Sound of Music, and much more…

On the German border, with views of the Eastern Alps, the birthplace of Mozart and setting for the film “The Sound of Music.”, Salzburg look like it came right out of a storybook. The city is split by the Salzach River, with medieval buildings on the left bank (Old City), and 19th-century Neustadt (New City) on the right bank. Beyond these two tourist attractions is a city with a flourishing arts scene, parks and concert halls that uphold musical tradition 365 days a year. Everywhere you go, the scenery, the skyline, the music and the history will impress.
