Salzburg's Old City is listed among UNESCO's World Cultural and Natural Heritage sites and considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. With a population of about 150.000, it is located right on the northern edge of the Alps and close to Germany's border. The city centre reflects more than a thousand years of history and culture and as the City of Mozart, Salzburg is world renowned for its musical heritage. The surrounding mountains and the nearby picturesque lake district (the Salzkammergut) further attest to the city's status of being a prime tourist destination.
