奥地利——萨尔斯堡
萨尔斯堡位于奥地利西部，是奥地利萨尔斯堡州的首府。这是一座被阿尔卑斯连峰翠绿的丘陵所包围的古老城市，在重山之间，又星罗棋布着无数大小不一的湖泊，可谓山明水秀。据史料记载，萨尔斯堡是现今奥地利管辖地域内历史最悠久的城市。这里曾是大主教管辖区，后又成为了枢机主教的驻地。由于历史的发展，如今的萨尔斯堡被划分为新旧两个城区，老城区历史悠久，古色古香；新城区则建筑新颖，景象繁华。阿尔卑斯山的秀丽风光与丰富多采的建筑艺术浑然一体，早在欧洲文艺复兴时期，萨尔斯堡就已经是欧洲的音乐艺术中心。这里是音乐天才莫扎特的出生地，也是指挥家卡拉扬的故乡。1997年，萨尔斯堡老城区被联合国科教文组织正式列入世界文化遗产名录，使之成为奥地利重要的旅游中心。
