 Salzburg & BerchtesgadenIdyllically located on the banks of the River Salzach, Salzburg is famed as the birthplace of Mozart, and ‘Sound of Music’ city. Admire the picturesque streets, exquisite squares, sculptured fountains, or the fantastic architecture, including the baroque cathedral in which Mozart was baptised and the immense Hohensalzburg Castle. This excursion continues with a visit to Berchtesgaden, a stunning alpine resort enclosed by crisp-white peaks in the south-eastern corner of Bavaria. Perched high in the Bavarian Alps, Berchtesgaden was home to Hitler’s spectacular Eagle’s Nest, while the surrounding countryside provided the backdrop for a number of scenes in The Sound of Music.
