Salzburg is Travelog's home for the Historic Centre of the City of Salzburg, inscribed by UNESCO on 5 December 1996 under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi), covering roughly 236 hectares across both banks of the Salzach River, with a steadier, uncontested standing unlike Vienna's own recent Danger List history.
