Salzburg & the Austrian Lake District Rail Holidays

S alzburg has two huge musical draws: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and The Sound of Music. If you’re a fan of the composer or the film, you will love Salzburg. If you have no interest in Mozart or musicals, there’s still plenty to enjoy about this pretty city dominated by the largest medieval castle in Europe. The surrounding mountainous country is also well worth exploring, with destinations like UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hallstatt just a 2-hour train ride away.
