Salzburg is a picturesque baroque city on the banks of the Salzach River and is the former site of the Roman town of Juvavum. Set against a pristine mountain backdrop, the city and the river were named after the early residents who earned their living in the region's salt mines.

Lying just two hours from Munich by train, Salzburg nestles just inside the German-Austrian border. Like a number of Austrian cities it is linked to a musical past and is the birthplace of Mozart. It offers a wonderfully preserved old town, now a UNESCO World Heritage site as well as some of the most stunning surrounding landscapes to explore, just a stone’s throw from the Alps.
