Download GuideCharming doesn't even begin to describe Salzburg. This has to be one of my favorite towns ever. It is just so cute and pleasant to walk around aimlessly.
Insider Tip:I took the Sound of Music tour, which was good, but be warned that it doesn't actually take you to all the sites in Salzburg itself. Although most of them are easy to find and accessible, so just make sure you allot enough time to take a look at some of the sites not covered by the tour.
there should be a lot of beautiful place here, but it was raining during my staying, and I had to leave here just only 1 day. so travelers should stay here at least for 2~3 days.
If you like the movie 'The Sound of Music', it is a place you should go! Great nature and beautiful city at the same time.
Insider Tip:Walk around the city center, what a beautiful city it is.
Salzburg had some amazing views from the Fortress up top and the the palace where a lot of scenes from Sound of Music were filmed. Easy to walk everywhere. Can see it all in about 2 days.
Insider Tip:If you're looking for the part of Do Re Mi where they are walking down the stairs with the fortress in the background, take the elevator up to the Modern Museum. there is a forested walking path from there to the fortress.
