Join expert traveler Ralph Danielsen in exploring Salzburg, Austria.
Delightful Salzburg, nestled snugly in its alpine valley, is one of Europe's most beautiful cities. Perched high above, a fairytale fortress begs exploration; as it provides spectacular views over the narrow streets, palaces, and dazzling flower gardens of the old town. We'll seek out all of the Sound of Music sights, including many overlooked by the bus tours. Leisurely drives into the surrounding Salzkammergut area reveal the intriguing history, steep mountain vistas, hidden lakes, and charming villages of the Austrian Alps.
