Salzburg is maybe Austria’s most famous city after Vienna. In this Austria travel video I’m going on a travel walking tour through this magical and romantic city which serves as the perfect gateway to the Alps. Along the way I will give you some hopefully useful ideas on what to see in Salzburg. Make sure you watch to the end where I will provide some additional tips and answers to questions you may have.
Salzburg is the fourth largest city in Austria and is located about 150 km (93 mi) South-East from Munich and 300 km (186 mi) west of Vienna. Salzburg's historic center (German: Altstadt) is known for its Baroque architecture and is one of the best-preserved city centers north of the Alps. It has a whopping 27 churches and is dominated by the massive Hohensalzburg Fortress. Salzburg is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tourists and travelers usually come to Salzburg to tour the historic centre and the scenic Alpine surroundings. So when you come to Salzburg, make sure you also check out the amazing little alpine towns and villages in close proximity, such as Hallstatt, Bad Ischl, St Gilgen, St. Wolfgang, Gosau and Zell am See.
What is Salzburg known for and why is it a favorite with tourists? Well, Salzburg is of course known as the birthplace of the 18th-century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Because of its history, culture, and attractions, Salzburg has been labeled Austria's "most inspiring city”.
Geographically, Salzburg sits on the banks of the River Salzach, at the northern boundary of the Alps. The mountains to Salzburg's south contrast with the rolling plains and hills to the north. The closest alpine peak, the closer to 2000‑meter-high Untersberg, is less than 16 kilometres (10 miles) from the city center. This area is flanked by two smaller hills, the Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg. Interestingly, and as a fun fact, Salzburg has about the same latitude as Seattle.
What makes Salzburg such a great city to explore is that it’s probably one of the most walkable cities you can find. Everything is in close proximity and you won’t have to cover large distances between the various sightseeing landmarks.
