Salzburg and Vienna Austrian melodies

He was born here and died there. Between Salzbourg and Vienne what can only be described as a musical miracle was born: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The journey follows his life and also encounters the genius’ predecessors and successors - from Haydn and Salieri to Beethoven and Schubert. First, his birthplace: Salzburg, with its generous history and a culture that is still vibrantly alive. On both banks of the Salzach River, you’ll stroll through old streets lined with tall 17th- and 18th-century facades, where Renaissance elements are still present and wrought-iron signs mark charming shops (Getreidegasse, Judengasse, etc.). In spring, flowers bloom in colourful displays throughout the gardens of Mirabell Palace. And all year round, the Salzburger Nockerl, a soufflé dessert served with plum jam and vanilla cream, is a delight. In Vienna, you discover the joy of living in the famous cafés, in the parks, in fantastic museums, in the Heuriger wine taverns, in the imperial palaces, at the markets, and even in churches, whose baroque style has something both rich and playful about it. The rhythm of the waltz and the flow of the Danube add an imperial fluidity to all this. Vienna rightfully holds its own as one of the world’s most pleasant cities.
