Salzburg

Salzburg is the third most visited city in Europe right after Venice and Florence. Salzburg is the oldest and most significant cultural centre in Austria today.
In the fourteenth century Salzburg separated from Bavaria but was incorporated into Austria nearly four centuries later in 1816. It is a small beautiful city with charming narrow streets and passages. It is best known as the hometown of Mozart and when you get there you can really feel the baroque atmosphere. Mozart’s music is played everywhere and his image is displayed even on all their chocolates. Mozart’s house is located on Getreidegasse the main shopping area in Salzburg. Its small center makes it easier to tour the city on foot.
