Berlitz Pocket Guides: Salzburg

Published 1 July 2012

"Berlitz: Pocket Guide Salzburg" combines informative text with vivid colour photography to uncover a city whose old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It covers everything you need to know about the city's attractions, from Mozart's birthplace and Festung Hohensalzburg, the largest fortress in Europe, to the treasure trove of Baroque buildings in the old town and boat trips across Konigssee lake south of the city. Handy maps on the cover flaps help you navigate, and the book uses colour-coding to differentiate between sections. To inspire you, the book offers a rundown of the Top 10 Attractions in the city and surrounding area, followed by an itinerary for a Perfect Day in Salzburg. The What To Do chapter is a snapshot of ways to spend your spare time, from wandering round Christmas market stalls to attending a concert or taking a boat trip. The book provides all the essential background information, including a brief history of the Salzburg region and an Eating Out chapter covering Austrian cuisine. There are carefully chosen listings of the best hotels and restaurants, and an A-Z of all the practical information you'll need.
