Welcome to the most inspiring city in Austria. With beautiful thoughts and places of tourism that will transform your mind and ideas, the city is also renowned for its fairytales. Mainly, Salzburg is the capital city of the federal state, namely, Salzburg in Austria. It lies in western central Austria near the border with Germany in the southwest of Linz.
