Visiting Salzburg - Beyond The Obvious
Nestled between emerald hills and the dramatic peaks of the Austrian Alps, Salzburg punches well above its weight for a city of just 150,000 residents.
Whilst most visitors arrive clutching their Sound of Music tour tickets Salzburg's real magic lies in its effortless blend of high culture and laid-back Alpine charm.
The city that birthed Mozart continues to celebrate musical excellence year-round, whilst its pedestrian-friendly Old Town remains blissfully free from the tourist trap pitfalls that plague other European destinations.
Add to this some of Austria's finest restaurants, easy access to pristine lakes and mountains, and locals who actually seem pleased to see visitors, and you've got yourself a proper winner.
Whether you're a classical music devotee, architecture enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates a good slice of Sachertorte, this compact Austrian gem delivers experiences that'll have you planning your return visit before you've even left.
