Author: The city of Salzburg is the 4th largest in Austria. It is the capital of the Salzburg province and it is said to be among the most beautiful cities not only in Austria but in Europe. Salzburg is especially well known as the place where the musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born. This city has a lot of interesting things to see and explore. With churches, castles, palaces and baroque architecture, a unique historical feel can be sensed when visiting Salzburg. Especially the Old Town area which was nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996 is fascinating to explore. The Salzburg Cathedral, the Hohensalzburg Castle, Mozart’s birthplace and Mozart’s residence are just some of the many attractions in that area.
Salzburg is one of Europe's most beautiful cities.
The population of Salzburg is around 150.000 and slowly growing. While this number is not especially large for a major European city, it is evident that the importance of Salzburg goes way beyond the size of its current population. With a huge number of significant cultural events (including such highlights as SommerSzene, Salzburg Festival, and Mozart Week) Salzburg is indeed a cultural metropolis.
