| Salzburg viewed from the Hohensalzburg Castle. More > Larger view. PHOTO © Hyde Flippo |
Salzburg is much more than the “Sound of Music” city! The birthplace of Mozart is the fourth largest city in Austria, and has much to offer visitors.
The city’s “Old Town” (Altstadt) with its marvelous baroque architecture is one of the best-preserved town centers north of the Alps. It has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. One of the best views of the city is from the Hohensalzburg Castle (photo above) that towers above Salzburg. More > See photos.

Kitzbühel - Tirol
The Austrian town of Kitzbühel (pop. 8,200) in the Kitzbüheler Alps is one of the country’s most famous and popular ski resorts. The numerous ski runs and lifts in the area (along with Kirchberg in Tirol and Jochberg) make Kitzbühel one of the largest ski regions in Austria. It is also one of the most exclusive, with a shopping district that compares well to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. In the summer the area’s beautiful Alpine scenery also attracts hikers and climbers.
