See the birthplace and family home of one of the world’s greatest composers in this city whose storybook Altstadt (Old Town) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Other Old Town must-see sights include the Dom, a Baroque cathedral capped by a copper dome and twin spires; and the Hohensalzburg Fortress, a 900-year-old cliff-top fortress that looms over the city where visitors can explore its ramparts, the Golden Hall and the Fortress Museum, which showcases medieval instruments, armor and torture devices.
