Everyone knows Salzburg because of the film The Sound of Music which was filmed there and there is something to recognise around almost every corner. If you have chosen to stay in a Salzburg holiday letting because your musical tastes are a little more highbrow, you will find Mozart memorabilia everywhere, as he was born in the city. If you don’t like the music, be sure to buy the chocolate, which is fabulous!

The architecture of Salzburg is justly famous, as it has more baroque buildings than almost any other city in the world and it wears its glory well, with everyday uses – such as department stores – being given to splendid buildings. Your Salzburg city centre (center) apartment will not be far from some gorgeous architecture, even if not in one of the main streets. One must see while staying in any Salzburg serviced residence is the cathedral, dedicated to St Rupert. Its 17th century frontage is amazing, but just wait until you get inside; it is literally breathtaking.

It is always nice when visiting new cities to do something unique and a visit to the salt mine truly is. Salzburg’s holiday rentals give you the chance to descend through the mountain which gives the city its name, sliding down with your guide through the tunnels made when the salt was washed from the rock. A boat trip across an underground lake is part of the tour and the whole tour takes several hours so it is very good value.

There are many museums in Salzburg and all are worth a visit. Mozart’s birthplace is certainly one you won’t want to miss while in a Salzburg serviced or self-catered apartment and if you have children with you – never mind if they are grown up! – the toy museum is the largest in Austria and is very hands on, with puppet shows. Getting around from your Salzburg apartment rental couldn’t be simpler. The Salzburg card gets you cheap travel and also discounts on access to places of interest. You can also use the card towards the cost of tours.

No matter whether you are a fan or not of the von Trapp family singers you really should go on a Sound of Music tour while staying in a Salzburg short stay apartment. They are one of the best ways of seeing the sights of the city, from the Hohensalzburg Castle, reached by cable car, to the Palace of Mirabell, where the Do Re Mi song was filmed.
