09/04 - Salzburg

After Innsbruck, we made use of our rail pass to make a detour at Salzburg. A pretty Baroque city in a picturesque alpine setting. Thanks to the 1965 film The Sound of Music, everyone has a presumption of its beauty without setting foot in Austria.

We spent around three hours strolling through the old city without climbing the castle hill. The stroll along the Salzach River was particular pleasant. We were attracted by some Baroque houses that built against a cliff side. We had some good ice-cream at Mozart Square, took some pictures of the Mozart statue, passed by the Mozart residence and purchased three Mozart chocolate balls, Mozartkugel. That's Salzburg! In the evening, we hopped on a train to return to Munich.
