In the beautiful maze of streets, squares, open spaces, small squares, and alleys at the foot of the Hohensalzburg Fortress, nestle the Cathedral and the 17th-century bishopric palaces, the Franciscan Church, the Abbey of Sankt Peter, the Old Town Hall, museums such as the Carolino Augusteum, and the palaces hosting the annual and famous music festival.
In the characteristic Getreidegasse, dotted with courtyards and ancient signs, stands the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, while his adult residence is located on the opposite bank of the river, at the foot of the Kapuzinerberg. On this side are also the Mozarteum, the Castle, and the park of Mirabell; while to the south of the city extend the splendid gardens with water features of Hellbrunn Castle.
