The city is the state capital, and the fourth largest city in the country. The Romans can be credited with merging several small settlements into a single town that would eventually grow up to become Salzburg, although for a period after the Romans departed, it looked like the city was doomed to be abandoned. In the 8th century though it got a much needed reawakening when St. Rupert founded a basilica on the banks of the river. In the years that followed, Salzburg grew at a steady pace despite being the centre for local political battles. By 1919, the city was named the capital of the First Austrian Republic, and post World War II it settled down to just be the state capital.
With its central location and artistic treasures, Salzburg has earned its reputation as a cultural capital of Europe. Mozart grew up there, and the modern visitor can trace his footsteps through the palaces and gardens of the lovely old city, designated a UN World Heritage Site in 1996. Judging from the view in down town hotels, Salzburg may appear to exist in another century. Salzburg is not a city content to live in the past: it is dynamic and innovative. Countless business conventions and the Europrix Awards for young multimedia professionals are held annually at the Salzburg Congress. Hotels in Salzburg are full during the Salzburg Festival each July, where the city's musical legacy continues to evolve beyond Mozart and "The Sound of Music." In short, whether to bask in culture or to bring together the brightest minds in business, one of the most popular destinations in Europe today is Salzburg.
Though historic Salzburg may seem worlds away, planes from across Europe land in its airport, the Salzburg W.A. Mozart International Airport, and the Salzburg Train Station is a vital rail hub, serviced daily by high-speed ICE trains. The city is very well connected to Vienna, and Munich by autobahn. Note that if you do choose to drive, you will need to ensure that you purchase a Vignette and display it on the window of your car. There are several regular buses that run the popular routes between Salzburg and nearby cities such as Munich, Prague, and Milan. Purchase a Salzburg Card and you will get free admission to all of the major attractions in the city as well as free use of the city buses, trains, boats and cable cars. Once you have arrived, you can book a room at one of the charming, reasonably priced Salzburg hotels. Hotels in the city centre are great places to experience the many sides of the city.
