Mozart's Footsteps

Many visitors simply enjoy Salzburg's beauty, atmosphere and charm although others come for specific reasons - to study the superb baroque architecture, listen to music or tread in Mozart's footsteps. Others flock here to follow The Sound of Music trail, and various tour companies run trips with English guides that take you to sites associated with the film.

For classical music lovers, festivals are the main draw; the city is packed during festival season and it's hard to find accommodations. Salzburg's charming cityscape, however, can be enjoyed any time of year; late spring and autumn are good times to visit, but whenever you come it will probably rain: Salzburg has a reputation for being the country's wettest city.
