Salzburg has a glorious past. Picturesquely situated along the Salzach river, dominated by the "Hohensalzburg" fortress, it conveys a poetic picture of itself.

Salzburg is also well known for its famous sons: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart who saw the light of day here in 1756. His birthplace, the house where he lived and numerous places where he worked in his early years, make Salzburg a particularly interesting place for music lovers to visit.

The yearly Salzburg summer festival keeps the cultural heritage alive. Many impressive cultural and religious monuments such as the Salzburg dome are now on UNESCO's World Heritage list.

400 animals from all the continents live in the beautiful "Hellbrunn" zoo within a short distance of the festival town of Salzburg. The zoo is above all known as a model for its enclosures and wonderful location.
