We were just one night (24 hours) in Salzburg and it was magical. What a lovely city! Small by comparison to all the previous stops but completely engaging. Our arrival afternoon started with an authentic Bavarian meal and then we strolled the streets to find souvenirs, walk through the Mirabel Gardens and visit a church or two. Mozart was born and lived here so there is a great musical influence in the city.
The next day, we took the 4-hour Sound of Music Tour. Let me just say that during the ride through the beautiful Austrian countryside, the bus was alive with the sound of music. We saw all the places where the movie scenes were filmed and heard plenty of behind the scenes stories. In addition, we got the history of the real Von Trapp family and their escape from Salzburg to the United States in 1938. It was all absolutely fun and uplifting.
Here are the photo highlights of our time in Salzburg.
