Our Salzburg

The Sound of Music turned Salzburg into a Hollywood myth - synonymous with singing nuns, but it is nevertheless one of the most beautiful towns in the Alps. Chic, cosmopolitan and stylish, its architecture has an Italianate feel - a cross between rugged medieval and delicate rococo facades. It is fitting that its most central café, Tomaselli, has an Italian name. It's biggest claim to fame is as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, born in the city in 1756. But the city's culture doesn't stop here, and despite a conservative reputation it has become increasingly avant-garde, with museums showcasing modern art by Klimt and Kokoschka and shows by contemporary artists. Even its location is appealing - its castle, churches and palaces are cradled within a scenic ring of mountains. The city is at its most beautiful at night, when its white-washed castle gives off a luminous glow. Because it is so small, you can wander around easily and stroll straight out of town into the lush Alpine meadows beyond - making it an ideal winter weekend destination.
