Destination: AUSTRIA
Introduction

Introduction

The little city of Salzburg, stretching along the Salzach river and tucked beneath Mönchsberg hill, is a delightful combination of medieval, Renaissance and baroque architecture, the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the gateway to some of Austria's most splendid landscapes. Add to this friendly people, a relaxed way of life and one of the world's greatest music festivals, and it's easy to see why Salzburg is popular year-round with tourists. For fans of the movie The Sound of Music, there's the added bonus that the city was home to the von Trapp family; movie locations are scattered around the city and are easy to visit.
