It seems that if you just listen you could hear that song made famous in "The Sound of Music".
Salzburg, translated literally as "Salt Castle", was home not only to the singing Von Trapp Family whose escape from the Nazis was made famous in the musical, but is also the birth place of Mozart.
The carefully manicured lawns and flowerbeds at Mirabell Garden accentuated by statues and water fountains are a delight to the eye. It is easy to imagine the Von Trapp children at play here.
The baroque architecture demonstraties craftsmanship and pride. Buildings in Altstadt with their attention to detail, painted in various muted shades are a tribute to centuries of respect for the history of this community.
Surrounded by mountains, some still snow-topped, it is easy to see how such richly beautiful surroundings could inspire creative genius.
