City of Mozart and marzipan balls

Hohensalzburg Fortress When visiting this fortress, you can either take the funicular, which is an attraction in its own ri- ght, or hike up Festungsberg Mountain on fo- ot. Within the fortress you will find several mu - seums, restaurants, churches, and even art galleries, but stunning views also form an essen- tial part of the experience. From this fortress, yo- ur gaze extends beyond the city to encompass the Alps in the distance. Saint Peter’s Abbey Saint Peter’s Abbey is the place where Salzburg was founded in the year 696. The abbey remains active and is the oldest continuously active mo- nastery in a German-speaking region. Coffeehouses and cakes Austrian coffeehouses are far more than mere pitstops to get your caffeine boost. Author Stefan Zweig dubbed them democratic clubs, where - for the price of a cup of coffee - you can partici- pate in discussions, play and writing. For artists like him, the coffeehouses of the 19 th century re- presented their office, but also their extended li - ving room. Cafe Tomaselli is just such a cafe, but is also the oldest in Salzburg, dating back to 1703. Also, while the industrially-produced Mo- zart chocolate is available in every supermarket, the original is still handmade by Fürst and sold exclusively at its shops, meaning that the original is only available in Salzburg.

Salzburg is one of the most renowned cities in Austria and Europe, and it boasts possibly the best-preserved old town centre, which is filled wi - th beautiful baroque architecture and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This charming Au- strian city is most famous for being the birthpla- ce of classical composer Mozart and for provi- ding the backdrop to the classic film The Sound of Music, but it also has so much more to offer in terms of historical sights. All about Mozart Salzburg is best known for being the birthplace of Mozart. Stroll down the shopping street of Ge- treidegasse, check out the yellow façade of the building where Mozart was born and visit the museum. Another iconic point of the city linked to Mozart is his statue, which rises over the squ- are of the same name. And this is certainly the place where you want to click that selfie. Cathedral There are more than 20 churches in the tiny area that forms Salzburg’s old town. However, none of them even comes close to the magnificence of Salzburg Cathedral, which was the first baroque church to be built on the territory of today’s Au- stria.
