Austria
Salzburg
Overview:
Mozart, mountain lakes, splendid palaces, stunning cathedrals and magnificent castles are all a few of my favorite things in the Salzburg region, home to the Sound of Music. Salzburg has a storybook quality with narrow streets, colorful houses, charming squares and enticing shops.
There is much more to this region than the town of Salzburg. The area close to Salzburg is called Salzkammergut, meaning "Land of the Salt Mines", a rather bland title for one of the most beautiful regions of Austria. Salt was the precious commodity that created the wealth of the region as shown in the incredible palaces, beautiful cathedrals and dramatic castles but none of it compares to the natural beauty of the wildflower meadows, the verdant forests, the splendid lakes reflecting snowy mountain peaks and so much more. Words can barely describe the beauty.
If you can only visit a few areas of Austria make sure not to miss the Salzburg region spending as much time as possible enjoying the natural beauty, history, and wonderful welcoming hotels and the hospitality of its charming people. To enhance your trip we have chosen a wonderful selection of hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts and castles in our list of accomodations in the Salzburg Region.
