This Austrian city on the Salzach River, with magnificent views of the Eastern Alps, is not just home to the real Von Trapp family and a famous musical. It is steeped in a rich history of culture and arts from both Northern and Southern Europe, earning it a rightful place on the list of UNESCO World Heritage cities. The river neatly separates the old from the new, with Salzburg's medieval and baroque Old Town on the left bank and its 19th century New Town on the right. It's best explored on foot, so you can marvel at the beautifully preserved sacred buildings, the Italian inspired squares and historic palaces, where you can even follow in Julie Andrew's footsteps through the Mirabell Palace Gardens. You will be captivated by Salzburg's charm and with its many museums, festivals and events, you won't be short of things to do, whatever the season.
