As you get closer to Austria, the Alps are more prevalent and are one of the most awesome sights one can behold.
♦ Salzburg
Famous as the birthplace of renowned composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Salzburg offers you historical charm.
01. “Mirabellgarten”
Salzburg is where you will find the famous shooting locations for the “The Sound of Music.” These stately gardens were created in the 18th century. Take a leisurely stroll past the statue of the winged horse Pegasus. In the film, this is where Maria and the children sang “Do-Re-Mi” and danced together.
02. “Mozart Geburtshaus”
The house in which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born is now one of the most frequently visited museums in the world. The building itself is called “Hagenauerhaus” and named after the owner and friend of the Mozarts, Johann Lorenz Hagenauer.
♦ Vienna

St. Stephen’s Cathedral is the symbol of Vienna. The cathedral is an impressive Gothic edifice of dark stone with a colorful tiled roof.
02. “Schloss Belvedere”
Vienna’s stunning Belvedere Palace houses the world’s largest collection of paintings by Gustav Klimt.
♦ Innsbruck
01. “Scenery”
Enjoy a unique mix of alpine urban experiences in a place where the mountains meet the valley and the city is one with nature.
02. “Olympic Stadium”
Innsbruck, host of the Olympic Winter Games in 1964 and 1976, is of course a major winter sports center.
♦ Hallstatt
As the arresting scenery of a tiny village tucked between mountains and water comes into view, you’ll immediately want to know more about this destination. For centuries, villagers have traded a very sought-after commodity that lies deep below the surface; salt.
