5Salzburg, Austria – The Sound of Christmas

In Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, Christmas has its own melody. The Cathedral Square Market bursts with handcrafted gifts, gingerbread, and mulled wine, all set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and baroque architecture.

Music fills the air as choirs perform in candlelit churches, and the fortress above the city glows softly in the night. With its blend of art, faith, and festivity, Salzburg feels like a living Christmas hymn.
