Salzburg
Salzburg is located in the western part of Austria, where the Alps raise their magnificent snow-covered peaks to the heavens. The majestic Salzach River crosses the city. The architecture here is harmoniously integrated into the magnificent natural landscape – incredibly beautiful plains with green meadows.
Salzburg will also delight those who love to stroll through shops. By the way, Austria has certain shopping rules, which you can read about here.
The ski resorts near this city are suitable for both beginners and avid lovers of healthy adrenaline. They operate almost all year round, as the Alpine slopes in this area of Austria have a constant soft snow cover.
Of course, everyone who comes to Salzburg is interested in Mozart, who was born in this city. There is a museum where you can learn everything about the great composer. In the Middle Ages, a fortress called Hohensalzburg was built on the city's territory. Despite its age, it is perfectly preserved and welcomes all who wish to see the grandeur of antiquity.
We also recommend visiting the residence of the archbishops, which now houses a unique painting exhibition also created in the Middle Ages. Don't forget to take a photo at the majestic Cathedral, built in the Baroque style. Among the significant Christian sites, we advise visiting St. Peter's Cathedral and the Franciscan Church.
Pilgrims from all over the world come to the monastery mountain, in the catacombs of which a monastery is located. Be sure to check out the House of Nature – a natural science museum that houses herbarium exhibits and galleries with stuffed animals and skeletons of ancient insects.
The space hall and the exhibition about the inhabitants of the deep sea are also very popular. You can also visit the museum of musical instruments and toys.
Compared to other Austrian cities, Salzburg probably has the largest number of restaurants. They offer incredibly tasty meat dishes, which according to centuries-old Austrian traditions are usually washed down with unfiltered fresh beer. We especially recommend ordering Kaiserschmarrn – a special omelet that includes raisins and chicken meat in addition to eggs. You will be delighted! And to complement the pleasure, try Glühwein, which contains excellent, high-quality red wine and aromatic spices.
There are not many hotels in Salzburg, but they are known for their affordable prices with a very high level of service.
