Salzburg is an Austrian city on the border of Germany, with views of the Eastern Alps. The city is divided by the Salzach River, with medieval and baroque buildings of the pedestrian Altstadt (Old City) on its left bank, facing the 19th-century Neustadt (New City) on its right. The Altstadt is the birthplace of the famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart which is preserved as a museum displaying his childhood instruments. 
For centuries, Salzburg was an immensely important center of the ecclesiastical power. The prince-archbishop was the leader of both church and state, a man who possessed power, money, and influence in Rome. This status was one of the reasons for the UNESCO to award Salzburg the prestigious title “World Heritage Site”. As we trace the exciting history and stories associated with Salzburg, we get to know it from its most imposing and magnificent perspective.
Salzburg is unique – in every regard. Anyone who has ever immersed themselves in the magic of the world-famous City of Mozart can never escape it again. The harmonious interplay of landscape and architecture, art and culture, as well as traditional and modern, all within a surprisingly small area, merely adds to the special charm of this place. A visit to the historic district alone, with its many buildings and towers, is like a journey into the past.

Music: "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
