Salzburg is a melange of mouthwatering architecture, be it Gothic and Baroque or Romanesque and Renaissance, the city is beautiful, to say the least. Designated the tag of UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its cultural and historical presence, Salzburg is rightfully dubbed the 'Rome of the North'. The Hohensalzburg Castle in the city limits is one of Europe's largest medieval castles and is a must visit. The city dates its roots back to the Roman times and possesses a rich culture influenced by Austria's neighboring countries, Germany and Italy. Surrounded by the rushing waters of the Salzach River and the majestic Alps, Salzburg is a unique destination to appreciate.
