"Cityspots Salzburg" takes you straight to the heart of Austria's music-mighty city, Mozart's birthplace and the film set of kitsch classic "The Sound of Music". Nestled amid the Alps, it's a destination for all season, in winter the Baroque Old Town's spires and domes are picturesque in the bright white snow, come summer the beer gardens invite weekenders to cool down with a pint of cloudy, beer brewed by Augustiner's monks. Salzburg highlights include: 16th century historic centre; No.9 Getreidegasse houses Mozart's birthplace; Hohensalzburg fortress sits high on a hilltop, surveying the city - take a 20mins walk or a funicular trip up for great views; and Mozartkugeln ('Mozart Balls') are spherical pistachio-filled chocolates.
It is perfect for pleasure-seeking city breakers wanting to quickly pinpoint the city's most entertaining highlights and decide what to see and do in a limited time.
