Nestled on the border of Germany with spectacular vistas of the Alps, the Austrian city of Salzburg is best known for being the birthplace of the classical composer Mozart and home of The Sound of Music. The town is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its beautifully preserved baroque architecture, particularly in the pedestrian Altstadt (Old City) on the left bank of the Salzach River with its magnificent hill-top medieval fortress, graceful domes and tall spires shooting into the sky. The 19th-century Neustadt (New City) is situated on the right bank of the river and features many attractions such as museums, art galleries, and unique sites.
