Moenchsberg and Burgberg mountains surround the Old Town of Salzburg with its arcade courtyards, Baroque churches, palaces and spacious places.
Visitors should visit the Mirabell Garden and Schloss Hellbrunn palace, and take a stroll through Getreidegasse, which used to be Salzburg´s main road. Mozart was born in Getreidegasse n° 9, which makes the house a popular attraction. Feste Hohensalzburg castle towers above the town as a symbol of power which was brought about the town thanks to its salt and silver mines.
