Salzburg is one of my favourite cities in Austria. Many people associate Salzburg with Mozart or with the Salzburg Festival, but the city has much more to offer than the commonly known sights! During a trip through Europe, Salzburg is always worthwhile and it’s easy to explore: Many beautiful spots in the city are within walking distance. And those who get a longing for nature are also in good hands in the beautiful surrounding countryside.
