Salzburg
Salzburg certainly owes its world renown to the most famous of its
citizens: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Many important buildings characterize Salzburg; for example the Salzburg
Cathedral is considered the first Baroque church north of the Alps.
However, Salzburg is also home to the oldest monastery still in existence
today in the German-speaking world, St. Peter's Archabbey. The Nonnberg
Abbey in turn became world-famous through the educator Maria Augusta
Kutschera, better-known as Maria von Trapp, whose life was the model
for the musical "The Sound of Music".
Duration of a trip to Salzburg: approx. 13 hours. The journey between Vienna and Salzburg takes approx. 3 1/2 hours.
