AS our summer starts to fade, some of us start looking for a dreamy, quick break before the autumn chill kicks in and the only thing we have to look forward to is long, dark nights and Christmas shopping.

How about a breath of fresh air in an alpine paradise before we take to the fireside for the winter?

Austria’s cities are awash with cultural delights, stylish shops and bars, with fairytale architecture creating the perfect backdrop for making memories and stories of your own. Perhaps one of the most beautiful and scenic spots has to be Salzburg.

Made famous by classic film The Sound of Music, Salzburg’s picturesque old city is a recognized World heritage site and a must see for visitors to Austria. Impressive snow-capped Alps keep watch over the city along with castles and cathedral spires that dominate the horizon.
