Salzburg is well known for the unique ornate feel that it showcases and the great storybook atmosphere that it has to flaunt over.

The legendary Mozart was actually born here; his tributes and prints can be seen all over the city.

The tours of salt mines are another exciting thing to do with the family in Salzburg. Board a local train or hop on a bus to reach them and explore the salt mines in trolleys using the wooden slides for descending into the low levels. Enjoy the cafes and the picnic spots on- site and have a family day out.

Shopping in the city of Salzburg is another activity popular with tourists. Many tourists rent self catering apartments and use them as a base to explore the local culture and shops.

The streets here are all lined with decorative hanging signs that can be seen at every shop you pass through. These signs bear either figures or icons that date back to ancient times. For instance, the shoe stores can be seen with signs denoting boots and many others signs reflect what that particular shop sells.

There is a huge chess board that tourists can play with. This grand chess board is painted on the ground itself and is located near to the cathedral of Salzburg. You might have to wait to get a go, but it is well worth the wait.

Lastly, the world renowned Salzburg festival is the most enthralling event and attracts holiday makers from all over the world.
