Music, snow and chocolate are not the only things to be found in this picturesque city, as the university boasts a lively and cosmopolitan crowd; more than 20,000 students pace the winding streets daily. Maria pleaded once upon a time for the hills to come alive, and boy have they - chilled bars pepper the right bank of the Salzach river, with some more niche drinking dens hidden in the city's snake-like streets. Music can be found and enjoyed, to any taste, from kitsch to classical to calm and collected. Salzburg offers a folkloric take on Austrian charm, and its close proximity to Germany makes for great weekend trips to Munich or Stuttgart, should the mood take you.

City of Musical Glitterati
Nestling on the border of Germany, to the West of the country, Salzburg offers more than just the backdrop for The Sound of Music. Birthplace to none other than the king of (classical) pop, Mozart, the city is beaming with baroque buildings, exterior wooden beams, and traditional shops (think chocolates, mini liqueurs and a lot of cute decorum). You'll be taken by the urge to sip on a thick hot chocolate, after a little escapade in the surrounding mountains. For the historians out there amongst you, take a tour around the impressive Hohensalzburg medieval castle, a grand fortress that highlights just one of Austria's many UNESCO world heritage sites.
