Salzburg Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
The Austrian city of Salzburg is situated on the northern edge of the Alps, close to the border of Germany. Surrounded by lakes and mountains, and straddling the banks of the Salzach River, few cities can match Salzburg’s fairytale setting.
Few places can match its musical heritage either. Salzburg is the hometown of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and provided the settings for one of cinema’s most-adored musicals, The Sound Of Music.
Take the funicular to Hohensalzburg, one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval fortresses. Down below in the Old Town you’ll find Salzburg Cathedral and the Salzburg Museum. Nearby, wander along narrow Getreidegasse, one of the loveliest shopping streets in the world.
Just off the Old Market Square, savor 300 years of coffee-making tradition at Café Tomaselli. For classical Austrian fare served with a side of Opera, take the short walk to Stiftskeller St. Peter. At the Müllner Bräu Brewery, hang out with beer devotees from all over the world.
Salzburg has long been a city where inspiration knows no bounds, especially when it comes to its palaces. Just a short stroll from the Marionette Theater, the grandeur of Mirabell Palace and Gardens awaits. While on Salzburg’s southern outskirts, explore the playful water features at Hellbrunn Palace.
While Salzburg abounds with fountains, some of the city’s most impressive water features are its natural ones, such as Lake Wolfgang and Krimml Waterfall. For a waterfall with a difference, visit the spa town of Bad Gastein, whose falls roar straight through the heart of town. From the town, take the cable car to the summit of Stubnerkogel Mountain and walk Europe’s highest suspension bridge.
The Salzburg region is full of surprises, so before heading back to the city, head underground, into the Hallein Salt Mine. From its salt mines to its symphonies, from its fountains to its waterfalls, Salzburg plays out like a living opera, filled with drama, comedy, intrigue and passion.

It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The city has three universities and a large population of students. Tourists also frequent the city to tour the city's historic center, many palaces, and the scenic Alpine surroundings.

TRIP TO AUSTRIA !!!
Join me for a trip to Austria! Located in Central Europe, Austria is a federal republic and a landlocked country of over 8.7 million people. Its terrain is very mountainous as it lies within the Alps. The majority of the population speaks German.
Our first stop was in Vienna. Vienna is the capital and largest city of Austria and is its cultural, economic, and political centre. While in Vienna, we visited The Belvedere, a historic building complex that consists of two Baroque palaces (the Upper and Lower Belvedere), the Orangery, and the Palace Stables. It houses the Belvedere museum. The grounds are set on a gentle gradient and include decorative tiered fountains and cascades, Baroque sculptures, and majestic wrought iron gates. The Belvedere museum houses the greatest collection of Austrian art dating from the Middle Ages to the present day, complemented by the works of international artists.
Our next stop was at the Schönbrunn Palace, a former imperial summer residence of the Habsburg monarchs and is located in Vienna. The 1,441-room Baroque palace is one of the most important architectural, cultural, and historical monuments in the country. It was built roughly 300 years ago.
We then drove to the city of Salzburg, known for its salt mines. Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria. The “Old Town” is internationally renowned for its baroque architecture and is one of the best-preserved city centers north of the Alps. It was the birthplace of 18th-century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In the mid‑20th century, the city was the setting for the musical film The Sound of Music. We also visited the old Hallein Salt Mine, an underground salt mine that has been worked for over 7000 years. We toured the mine and rode down on wood shafts just like the miners did centuries ago.
We then visited Mirabell Palace, a historical building in the city of Salzburg. The palace with its gardens is a listed cultural heritage monument. We were able to enjoy a Vivaldi and Mozart concert in The Marble Hall of the Palace. In its glory days, the Mozart family performed here for Salzburg´s royalty.
The highest point in Austria is The Grossglockner mountain, which stands 3798 metres high and is the highest mountain in the Alps east of the Brenner Pass. We enjoyed a scenic car ride on the High Alpine Road. It’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country and receives 270 000 vehicles every year.

Salzburg Perfect Day
Salzburg, Austria, a perfect day includes the castle, walking the narrow lanes, enjoying great views from Kapuzinerberg and Monchsberg hills, have a beer and sausage and visit Mirabell Gardens. The center of town is given over to pedestrians, so you can have a good look around by simply walking. Wear comfortable shoes! There is certainly a lot of interesting history you may absorb here, with visits to museums, castles and palaces, but it is the ambience of the town itself that is most attractive -- the lanes, courtyards, shops, gardens and little squares are the most rewarding part of the Salzburg experience.
