Salzburg

Salzburg, a city nestled in the mountains, is the birthplace of Mozart. The mountains are inspiring. The fortress perched up on the hill overlooking Salzburg dominates the skyline and is more than a little intimidating.

The narrow pedestrian streets of Salzburg reflect the old and the new. The signs hanging out front of the stores use pictures and symbols to identify the shops - much as they did in medieval times when few people knew how to read. The shops themselves are very modern - McDonald's, Claire's, Nordsee, etc.




The hills are alive with the sound of music!
