The Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard, and acerbic critic of the post war state who spent his formative years in SALZBURG, called his home town “a fatal illness”, whose Catholicism, conservatism and sheer snobbery drove its citizens to a miserable end. Yet for many visitors Salzburg represents the quintessential Austria, offering the best of country’s Baroque architecture, subalpine air, and a musical heritage largely provided by the city’s most famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose bright-eyed visage peers from every box of the city’s ubiquitous chocolate delicacy, the Mozartkugel. Despite this, for much of its history Salzburg either belonged to the Bavarian sphere of was an independent city-state, only becoming part of the habsburg domain in 1816. The city’s High Baroque appearance is largely due to the ambition of sixteenth – and seventeenth-century Prince-Archbishops Wolf Dietrich and paris Lodron, who hired artists and craftsmen from south of the Alps to recast Salzburg on the model of Rome. Salzburg has a compact center and an easily walkable concentration of sights.
