What makes Salzburg special
Salzburg was ruled for centuries by powerful prince-archbishops, who shaped its baroque churches, palaces and squares. Its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is also the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, home of the Salzburg Festival and a gateway to the lakes and mountains of the Salzkammergut. A local guide connects these stories in one walk.
