Salzburg, Austria: The Sound of Music

Salzburg and its residents — at least its tourism industry — hum happily along to Mozart and The Sound of Music melodies. Thanks to its charming old town, splendid gardens, Baroque churches and fountains (the town's nickname is "Rome of the North") plus a mighty fortress rising above it all, Salzburg is made for visitors.
