Visiting Salzburg

A short drive and you are surrounded by the breathtaking mountainous scenery of Bavaria and the Tyrol to the southwest. In the winter, you are in the heart of one of the most exciting ski areas of Europe. A short drive will take you to Salzburg, the birth place of Austria's famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – well they named an airport after him anyway. Salzburg Old City is full of delights. Magnificent architecture, amazing shops and food that will ensure you put on a lot of weight during your visit.

You can work some of this off by exploring the maze of narrow medieval streets that wind there way through this small – mainly pedestrianised - city. Or if you feel like it, take a ride in a horse drawn carriage known as a Fiaker, the drivers are excellent guides.
