Salzburg

Mozart's city under snow is close to theatrical parody: baroque domes, a clifftop fortress, market stalls smelling of gingerbread in the cathedral square.

About this place

Hear a Mozart concert in the Marble Hall of the Mirabell Palace, ride the funicular up to Hohensalzburg for the white-roofed panorama, and drink glühwein where the Christkindlmarkt has stood since the fifteenth century. The Krampus parades in early December add a pleasing note of menace.
