Situated at the edge of the alps, most of salzburg’s main attractions are conveniently located near the old town. It is the old town that has the most charm with narrow streets that lead to cobbled squares. With castles, churches, markets and a variety of shops there is plenty to see and do in salzburg. It is a beautiful city, famous for mozart and the sound of music and declared a world heritage site by unesco in 1997. Since much of the old town is a pedestrian zone and relatively small, it is ideal for walking and window shopping – it only takes about 20 minutes to walk from one end to the other.
