Salzburg, Austria

Salzburg meaning ''Salt Fortress'', derived its name from the barges on the Salzach river carrying salt and the city's fortress, Festung Hohensalzburg.
As the fourth largest city in Austria, it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site famously known for its Baroque Architecture, scenic alpine backdrop, birthplace of 18th century composer Wolgang Amadeus Mozart and where the 1965 movie Sound of Music was filmed.
