Salzburg’s worldwide recognition can be attributed to its charming urban appearance, beautiful surroundings, and the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1756. Festung Hohensalzburg, the city’s landmark, is the largest intact fortress in Central Europe and provides stunning views of Salzburg.
A visit to Mozart’s Geburtshaus, where the talented composer was born on January 27, 1756, is a must-see. The Mirabell Palace & Gardens, renowned for its exquisite gardens built by Baroque master builder Lukas von Hildebrandt, is another highlight. To the south of Salzburg’s old town is Hellbrunn Castle, a popular attraction featuring the world-famous Wasserspiele, a collection of ingenious trick fountains and water-powered figures.
