Review & FAQ:
Famous for being the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the shooting location for The Sound of Music, Salzburg boasts a picturesque old town that looks like something straight out of a storybook. The many stunning baroque buildings have earned the old town the honor of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site; visitors should take special care to visit Festung Hohensalzburg, the largest intact fortress in Central Europe. Thanks to its history, the city also has a wonderful arts and music scene; it hosts approximately 4,000 cultural events every year, including the highly acclaimed Salzburg Festspiele.
