Salzburg, Austria

Today, we're in Austria's fourth-largest city—Salzburg, a place that never goes out of style. This city, shaped by centuries of change, owes much of its charm to its medieval roots and Baroque brilliance. The Altstadt also known as the 'old town,' is a treasure trove of architecture that tells a story. Narrow cobblestone streets guide you to landmarks like the Hohensalzburg Fortress, a symbol of resilience that has loomed over the city since the 11th century. Salzburg Cathedral is a striking example of Baroque craftsmanship, with its twin tower defining the skyline. Salzburg's architectural legacy is not just about buildings but the music within them. This is, after all, Mozart's birthplace, and his childhood home still attracts admirers.
