Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria, a landlocked country in Central Europe bordered by Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Salzburgs' Old Town, with its world famous baroque architecture, is one of the best-preserved city centers north of the Alps. The city is noted for its Alpine setting, and it is the birthplace of 18th-century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In the mid-20th century, the city was the setting for parts of the musical and film The Sound of Music, which also features famous landmarks in Austria. With three universities, Salzburg is filled with the liveliness of a large student population, and its central location in Europe makes travel to other cities and countries convenient.
