Top places to visit

1. Mirabell Palace

Mirabell Palace's romantic story combined with its beautiful baroque design have made it one of the most popular wedding venues in the world. Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg, had the palace built for his mistress Salome Alt. Von Raitenau's profession meant that he wasn't allowed to marry, and his attempt to get a special dispensation from the pontifex to do so failed. To get around this, he built Mirabell Palace on what was then the edge of Salzburg, and they lived together there until his death, having a total of 16 children.

2. Salzburg Cathedral

In 774 the Bishop Virgil founded a cathedral at the site of a Roman town called Juvavum. Over the centuries, it suffered the ravages of eight different fires. The worst of these was in 1598, when the building was left largely in ruins. From the ashes sprung the beauty of Baroque architecture we can still see today. Designed by the famed architect Santino Solari, it has achieved fame across the continent.
