Salzburg's "Old Town" (Altstadt) with its world famous baroque architecture is one of the best-preserved city centres north of the Alps, and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The city is noted for its Alpine setting.

Salzburg was the birthplace of 18th-century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Thank you...I think. I had this song in my head and I couldn't get rid of it (Captain and Tenille's "Love Will Keep Us Together") As soon as I saw this card on your blog, that song was replaced by "My Hills are Alive" from the Sound of Music. I'm not sure if that's an improvement or not, bit it is a change. Have you seen The Sound of Music? It takes place in Austria.
