The place

Salzburg

Baroque domes and spires on the Salzach, a fortress on the cliff above and palaces at the city’s edge, with the mountains just beyond.

July is one of the easiest months to marry here.

The light

How the light falls there

Pale façades and green copper domes turn warm in the evening sun below the fortress on its rock. The classic views look across the Salzach from its banks, and down from the Mönchsberg and the Kapuzinerberg, the hills that frame the old town. After rain the mountains stand out sharp. At midsummer the sun sets around ten past nine; in December, at about a quarter past four.
