Salzburg Travel Safety Guide — Austria

Safety Score: 9.5/10 · Value: 7/10 · Beauty: 8.9/10

Salzburg is one of the best-preserved Baroque cities in the world, its Old Town (Altstadt) is a UNESCO World Heritage site of grandiose church domes, arcaded merchant houses, and a fortress-capped cliff that has dominated the city since 1077. As the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (born 1756) and the setting for The Sound of Music (1965), Salzburg draws visitors from across the globe for both classical music and cinematic pilgrimage. The Salzburg Festival (July–August) is one of the world's most prestigious performing arts events. The Salzach River divides the city, and the combination of mountains rising directly from the city's edge gives it a dramatic Alpine backdrop.
