“All the beautiful regions I have seen - in my opinion - cannot compare Chapter Square with “Sphaera” by Stephan Balkenhol
Old Marketplace, Café Tomaselli
The unforgettable charm of Salzburg‘s cityscape and countless cultural monuments prompted UNESCO to designate Salzburg‘s historic city center as a World Heritage Site in 1997. This will preserve the city‘s beauty for many generations to come. Mozart’s Birthplace 6

with Salzburg’s divine natural beauty.” Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Salzburg - joie de vivre Salzburg is a many-faceted city. Once ruled by archbishops, uniting both secular and ecclesiastical power, the city can look back on a moving history. Many baroque church spires, the Cathedral and the Residence with its magnificent state rooms bear witness to a great past. Today the narrow streets of the historic city center are dominated by a vibrant hustle and bustle. Countless museums and galleries beg to be explored at length. Listen to the music of the street musicians while enjoying a cup of coffee and “Salzburger Nockerl” or take a walk across the city’s mountains to take in the spectacular view of the city’s surroundings.
Music plays an important role in Salzburg: whether it focuses on W. A. Mozart, whose birthplace and residence are among the city’s most popular attractions, “The Sound of Music” or the festivals at Easter, Whitsun or during the summer. Over 4,000 cultural events are held in Salzburg each year: opportunity enough to give in to the charm of the music and the joie de vivre.
