Salzburg It is a beautiful Austrian city steeped in history and has about 150,000 inhabitants. It is the typical medieval city where you think you have gone back in time and being at that time at every step you take, a real wonder if you like to visit the historic center of cities, which is also where you can best know what that has been city and what is its life and history. So much is its cultural value that UNESCO named it Cultural heritage of Humanity in 1997 thanks, among other things, to those medieval alleys that transport you to any movie or television series set in the era you have seen.
The city is divided in two by the Salzach river, and to see the historical part you have to go along the left bank, which is surrounded by the Hills of the Monchsberg. One of the best characteristics that this area has is that it is pedestrian, so you can leisurely stroll through its streets without worrying that a vehicle may appear. On one of these streets, Getreidegasse (all end in –asse), Mozart was born, very close also to the great towers that can be seen in the different churches, as well as the Hohensalzburg Fortress, an enclosure with almost a thousand years of history and which is also made up of several towers and walls.
If you go to visit salzburgyou can't stop going through it Episcopal palace, the Saint Peter's Abbey, the Franciscan Church… Quite a true Outdoor museum with so many styles and so much beauty in every corner of the city. A beautiful city to visit, especially if you are an architecture lover where the styles that you will find are medieval, Renaissance and Gothic. Do not think about it and, if you are going to travel to Austria or surroundings, stop by Salzburg.
