Mjet flies to Salzburg for many years now. The
city and it's region are very popular during the
winterseason, not only for a long skiing-holiday
but also for a short citytrip.

Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria and
the capital of the federal state of Salzburg.
Salzburg's "Old Town" (Altstadt) with its world
famous baroque architecture is one of the best-
preserved city centres north of the Alps, and
was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in
1997.

The city is noted for its Alpine setting. It is the
birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the
setting for parts of the musical and film The
Sound of Music, which features famous
landmarks in Austria, but focuses mainly on
Salzburg. Salzburg is a student city, with three
universities.

Salzburg is on the banks of the Salzach river, at
the northern boundary of the Alps. The
mountains to Salzburg's south contrast with the
rolling plains to the north. The closest alpine
peak – the 1972 m Untersberg – is only a few
kilometers from the city center. The Altstadt, or
"old town", is dominated by its baroque towers
and churches and the massive Festung
Hohensalzburg. This area is surrounded by two
smaller mountains, the Mönchsberg and
Kapuzinerberg as the green lung of the city.

Salzburg is a tourist favourite, with the number
of tourists outnumbering locals by a large margin
in peak times. In addition to Mozart's birthplace
noted above, other notable places include:

The "Residenz" Palace (the magnificent former
Prince-Archbishop's residence), Mozart's birth
house, the Salzburg Cathedral (Salzburger Dom)
& the Hohensalzburg Castle (Festung
Hohensalzburg) on a hill dominating the old
town is one of the largest castles in Europe, with
views over Salzburg.
