Salzburg, Austria
Salzburg's old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is nestled between the Monchsberg and Kapuzinerberg hills along the Salzach River. The Hohensalzburg Fortress, one of Europe's largest medieval castles, towers above from its perch — reachable by funicular or a steep walk. Below, Getreidegasse is one of Europe's most atmospheric shopping streets, with wrought-iron guild signs and Mozart's yellow birthplace at number 9. The cathedral, Residenz palace, and festival halls cluster around the old town's squares. Across the river, the Mirabell Gardens (featured in The Sound of Music) offer formal flower beds with fortress views. The Monchsberg walk along the clifftop connects the Museum of Modern Art to panoramic viewpoints. The Salzburg Festival in summer makes this small city one of the world's great performing arts destinations.
