Situated right in the heart of Austria, Salzburg was an independent state from the rest of the country until 1816. It is synonymous with music as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born here. It hosts the annual Salzburg Festival, which showcases many operas and attracts millions every year. Salzburg is also where 'The Sound of Music' was filmed.

바쁘게 예약하는 통에... female을 male로 잘못 예약해 버려서...노숙하게 생겼었는데..(주말이라 어디에도 빈방이 없었습니다..ㅜㅜ) 스텝들이 여기저기 방 알아봐주시고 결국은 체크아웃 시간 마춰서.. 자리 만들어 주셔서 무사히 잘 지내다 왔습니다.. 감사~~!!!
Loved it, wish I had given Salzburg more time. Arrived late evening and left that afternoon. Absolutely stunning scenery.
Insider Tip:Plan to spend at least two nights. Watch the Sound of Music movie and then go on the tour. You won't regret it.
Ice caves tour is awesome, however wear sturdy walking shoes and warm clothes. Views from castle are brilliant. Beautiful town!
Loved finally getting here, it's been a top place on my place to visit for years. More for Mozart than the Sound of Music film (does that sound convincing?)
Insider Tip:Take the bus to the cable car and have a drink at the top of the snow capped mountain. Surreal knowing u've just left a snow free place!
With a history spanning over 2,000 years, Vienna has the architecture and attractions to make for the perfect break away.
