Situated at the edge of the Alps, most of Salzburg's main attractions are conveniently located near the old town. It is the old town that has the most charm with narrow streets that lead to cobbled squares. With castles, churches, markets and a variety of shops there is plenty to see and do in Salzburg. It is a beautiful city, famous for Mozart and The Sound of Music and declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. Since much of the old town is a pedestrian zone and relatively small, it is ideal for walking and window shopping - it only takes about 20 minutes to walk from one end to the other.Nestling in the South East of the German Alps in the Berchtesgadener Land National Park, the Berchtesgaden is popular with tourists all year round. Located just 30 kilometres from Salzburg and 180 kilometres from Munich, Berchtesgaden is easily accessible. It is surrounded by Mount Watzmann, Germany's third highest mountain, the Kehlstein and nearby is the glacial lake of Königssee. There are a variety of sights and sports to be either watched or tried at all times of the year, whatever the weather. In summer the area is popular for walking and hiking and in winter you can try almost every winter sport imaginable including skiing, bobsleigh and snow shoe walking. The Berchtesgaden area is an ideal holiday destination, whether you are a couple looking for a peaceful, picturesque location or a family who wants to make the most of the sights and the sports that are on offer. You're not here for a long time, just a good time and Insiders' Guides show you how.
