Salzburg

SALZBURGUntil 1816 Salzburg was a city-state, independent of the Habsburgs and ruledby powerful prince-archbishops. It is situated on the northern border of Austria,70 miles (113km) southeast of Munich, in a picturesque setting surroundedby mountains. Mozart was born here and the city’s fascination with its most-famous son is best demonstrated during the Salzburg Festival which presentsworld-class performances of opera, drama and concerts over a period of sixweeks each summer. Mozart’s impression has been left all over the town - hisimage is on every postcard and chocolate box and both his birthplace and familyhouse are now museums offering detailed insight into his life and work. The cityis also the home town of Baroque and the south side of the river is a Baroquemasterpiece of charming churches, squares, houses and fountains.
