Salzburg
|
|
Austria's home town of Baroque, and the birthplace of that talented musician Mozart, is picturesquely sheltered by surrounding mountains. The Salzburg that everyone knows and loves was largely built by three bishop-princes in the late-16th and early-17th century, which is what gives the city its Italian flavour and its skyline punctuated by countless medieval spires and domes. The old town, on the south bank of the river, is a Baroque masterpiece of churches, plazas, courtyards and fountains.
 Of the two Mozart museums in town, both of which are popular and pricey, this house at Makartplatz 8 where the Mozart family lived from 1773 to 1787 has more to offer.
A tour of the baroque old town is a fine way to acquaint yourself with the city. Declared a UNESCO World heritage site in 1996, the area is teeming with plazas, courtyards, fountains, churches and open-air markets.
You could spend hours roaming around the diverse and well displayed exhibits at the Haus Der Natur (Museum of Natural History), located in the centre of the old city. Its 80 exhibition rooms attract over 300,000 visitors each year.
The 11th-century Festung Hohensalzburg (Hohensalzburg Fortress) is the high point (literally and metaphorically) of a visit to Salzburg, offering a stupendous northern city view from its 120m (400ft) elevation.
