SALZBURG, AUSTRIA
BAROQUE SPLENDOR OF SALZBURG
Salzburg, Austria unfolds through scenes of the Mozartsteg bridge crossing the Salzach River. In the historic square, the Mozart Statue stands near the elaborate Residence Fountain. The city’s architectural heritage is shown through the grand dome of the Salzburg Cathedral, the peaceful St. Peter's Abbey cemetery, and Old City Hall. Street scenes capture Café Tomaselli, the modern Sphaera sculpture, the Kapitelschwemme horse pond, and the narrow Getreidegasse with its wrought-iron signs. Finally, the manicured Mirabell Palace and Gardens feature the Pegasus Fountain and Dwarf Garden, while sweeping city views look out from Fortress Hohensalzburg.
