What people say
Christina Dubin
"Welcome to Salzburg! It is incredibly old and beautiful, with settlements dating back to 15 BC. The old town is partially protected by high stone walls and a medieval fortress that looms high above the city. It’s clear that the city was originally designed to keep outsiders out, but today the Salzburg’s historic district is full of warmth… and music.
In fact music is probably Salzburg’s most notable draw because not only is it the home of Mozart, but the Sound of Music was famously filmed at locations throughout the city. Whether it’s advertisements promoting classical concerts or Mozart’s face painted on artisanal chocolates, musical touches are everywhere throughout the city. "

"If you're a fan of classical music or the Sound of Music, Salzburg is a top destination for you when in Austria!
Public transportation can be taken from Vienna to Salzburg and back, but the long distance each way can make this tough to do alone. It's recommended to do a small group tour, like that linked below, to ease travel logistics and to get the most of your one day in the Salzburg area."
