Salzburg, Austria<\/h1>\n

\"Salzburg<\/a><\/p>\n

Salzburg, literally “salt castle”, is the\u00a0fourth-largest city\u00a0in\u00a0Austria\u00a0and the capital of\u00a0Salzburg state.<\/p>\n

Its historic center is renowned for its\u00a0baroque architecture\u00a0and is one of the best-preserved city centers north of the Alps, with 27 churches. It was listed as a\u00a0UNESCO World Heritage Site\u00a0in 1997. The city has three universities and a large population of students. Tourists also visit Salzburg to tour the historic center and the scenic\u00a0Alpine\u00a0surroundings.<\/p>\n

Salzburg was the birthplace of the 18th-century composer\u00a0Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In the mid\u201120th century, the city was the setting for the musical play and film\u00a0The Sound of Music<\/i>.\u00a0 ~wikipedia<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our visit to Salzburg, Austria was the highlight of the trip for me.\u00a0 It was the closest we made it to Traun, Austria, which was another hour or so north east.\u00a0 Perhaps we will make it there some day on a return trip tour of Austria by car<\/a>; a very good reason to come back.<\/p>\n

There was rain in the forecast for our day trip to Austria.\u00a0 It didn’t rain a drop the entire time we were out and about though.\u00a0 The clouds looked ominous the whole train ride from Munich to Salzburg.<\/p>\n

There is so much to see in Salzburg; I could have stayed here a few days.\u00a0 The river and mountain views were beautiful.\u00a0 The fortress on top of the hill overlooking Salzburg was our destination (next blog post).<\/p>\n
