We have added several new, detailed, destination guides to ThereArePlaces. We think these locations will be very popular vacation destinations in 2009, so see if one is right for you.

We have added a new, illustrated  city guide to travel and tourism in Salzburg, Austria. 

We cover all of the major attractions in the Old Town with special attention paid to the Fortress and the Residenz.  Of course, we also cover the Dom, the Mozart Residence, the FranziskanerKirche and much more. In addition, we explore Hellbrunn Palace and its famous Water Gardens located outside the Centrum.

There is nowhere quite like the birthplace of Mozart to enjoy music, culture, history and beautiful scenery. If you have not yet been to Salzburg, read our guide and make your reservations. 

We've just published a new, detailed, illustrated guide to the Romantic Road in Germany's beautiful Bavaria.

You can read our press release on the new guide in our Media Center.
