History of Salzburg
by grayfo
The earliest traces of human remains found in the Salzburg area date back to the Neolithic Age. The first known settlers were Celts from around 15 BC who were later colonised by the Romans around the year 45. Juvavum as the settlement was called became one of the most important cities in the Roman province of Noricum.
After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Salzburg was colonised by Bavarian settlers, and became a part of Bavaria.
In the 14th century Salzburg received independence from Bavaria and stayed an independent nation until the beginning of the 19th century.
Climb the path to the castle...
by elizab
Climb the path to the castle overlooking the city. And eat sausages, even if you're a vegetarian. Drinking the local beer goes without saying, of course. The sweet, dense, moist brown bread served for breakfast each morning with sweet butter and homemade jam. I wish I could find a recipe!
the Alps
by easterntrekker
The very beautiful mountains surrounding Salzburg can be seen clearly from the castle hill.Salzburg is on the banks of the Salzach river, at the northern boundary of the Alps. The closest alpine peak – the 1972 m Untersberg – is only a few kilometres from the city centre.

Reserved
by WrigleyTodd
Austrians are very reserved people... more so in Salzburg than Vienna. Don't be loud or obnoxious and don't overwhelm a local by asking too many questions or trying to get too conversational. If the Austrian looks uncomfortable talking with you, stop. Also, if you're looking for English speakers, try the young Austrians first. They usually like to use the English and are more willing to try.
