Salzburg

As the seat of prince-bishops it became wealthy and powerful, as the birthplace of Mozart it found fame, and as a festival city it found its purpose and destiny. But can today's Salzburg really be described by anything more than music and majestic baroque architecture? Hubert Nowak, who lived and worked in the city for many years, sets out to find the lesser-known side to Salzburg. Leaving the festival district, he plunges into in the atmospheric old quarter and places known only to the natives, and often not even to them. Through the stories of those who visited the city over the centuries, he gives the reader a fresh perspective and gives the old city new life. Salzburg: A City of Culture is an essential reading for everyone interested in visiting the city.
