The Stunning City Of Salzburg
Review of Salzburg (Austria) by daylehall

Advantages: beautiful scenery, superb transport system, lots of things to see
Disadvantages: restaurants close quite early, not much veggie food

...a 5 day trip to Salzburg in Austria. I bought Jamie the trip to Austria as a present for his last birthday. Here I am reviewing the city of Salzburg. Getting there I booked my flights with Ryanair through the website which I found fairly easy to use. Baring in mind I actually booked the tickets in July 2006 so that prices may have changed since then, but I paid £87.02 for both of us for return flight which I thought was very reasonable. We flew ... Read review

Salzburg, the sound of Mozart...music
Review of Salzburg (Austria) by Writing321

Advantages: Stunning scenery, wonderful place
Disadvantages: not any

...be precise he entered the Salzburg scene at 8 o'clock in the evening on the 27th day of January in 1756 at number 9 Getreidegasse and one day later he started the tourism trend by going to the Cathedral and gaining the honourable name of Johannes Chrisostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart at his christening. With such a musical name it was always on the cards that he would take the world by storm and create 600 musical pieces from little arias to ... Read review

The Hills Are Alive... with the sound of Mozart
Review of Salzburg (Austria) by CaptainDisaster

Advantages: In the sun, one of the most beautiful cities on earth...
Disadvantages: ... but in the rain it's nowhere near as good...

...least. I have been to Salzburg many times on day trips while on holiday in Austria, but until recently had not actually stayed there (though it was only for 3 days). Unfortunately the weather for those three days was not kind, but this did give me the impetus to explore more of what the city itself had to offer. You can't move in Salzburg without being reminded that it's the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - although the city spurned ... Read review

Visit the lovely town where Mozart was born
Review of Salzburg (Austria) by Michael-S

Advantages: lovely town, beautiful scenery, a lot of history and culture
Disadvantages: sometimes crowded (mainly in August)

Salzburg is a lovely town in Austria, with a population of less than 150,000. It is the birthplace of Wolfang Amadeus Mozart. I have been there a number of times and I will certainly go there again. For many centuries, Salzburg was dominated by the Prince-Archbishops, and you can still see many signs of their power nowadays. The name Salzburg can be translated as 'Salt Castle' and it refers to the castle which overlooks the whole town (Hohensalzburg) ... Read review

Fairytale City
Review of Salzburg (Austria) by anotherwiseguy

Advantages: clean, lovely, accessable
Disadvantages: not cheap on a student budget

I visited Salzburg this summer (2001) as a part of a backpacking summer trek around Europe. It was intended as a short and convienient stop-over between Munich and Budapest. In many ways, the sole motivation for us visiting was that the train timetables worked out. That, and the fact that there was a youth hostel there. Having experienced the grey anonymity of Munich, the train ride south was very pleasant and green. The scenery was lovely all ... Read review

Land of sound of music where once eagles dared
Review of Salzburg (Austria) by Maverick_tips

Advantages: heavenly scenic beauty
Disadvantages: -

...famous for .</b>The experience of Salzburg is incomplete without exploring its surroundings.Another advice is always take a guided tour 'coz it provides u with lots of insight 'n helps u in understanding the finer points ,history ,importance 'n uniqueness of this geographical location else everything may seem to be just brick and mortar.Even tho' these tours r quite expensive well its worth every penny (or is it euro).Some of which I highly recomemnd ...

My home i miss you...
Review of Salzburg (Austria) by nosey21

Advantages: Beautiful town, lots of culture
Disadvantages: Not many

...to write a review about Salzburg - the town i lived for 21 years. Salzburg used to be my home before i moved to the UK so i know lots about this very pretty part of Austria. There are so many things to see that you certainly won't get bored on a holiday in this town. Let's see what Salzburg is famous for: 1. "The Sound of Music" One of the most successful musicals of all times was shot in this town. Remember Julie Andrews and the "Van ... Read review

Don't forget The Sound of Music too
Review of Salzburg (Austria) by outonalimb

Advantages: Very picturesque town, Lots of cultural things going on, friendly locals
Disadvantages: Can see everything in a weekend, not cheap, very croweded during the festival

...know about that aspect of Salzburg (very worth visiting for) then I would advise reading Michael-S's opinion, which describes most of the major sights far better than I would hope to do so. Added to what he says, I would point out that the Franciscan church performs a Mozart Mass at 9am on Sundays (at least it did on the week we were there) which is well worth going to, if only to hear the music as part of a Mass, as it would originally have been ...

Good Clean Salty Fun
Review of Salzburg (Austria) by zoe_page

Advantages: In op
Disadvantages: Ditto

...Vienna so headed over to Salzburg for a few days. Saturday was spent in the centre, doing all the sites and, well, a bit of shopping too. On Sunday though, we left the city and went to Hallein, a little town about 40 mins away, on a special ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) trip. We paid 289 Ös (maybe 14 GBP) and for that got return train travel to the town, 2 x ~ 20 min trips on a Cable Car and entry to a celtic village along with a tour of a salt ... Read review

The Beautiful Salzburg
Review of Salzburg (Austria) by sianybaby1986

Advantages: This may make you want to see Salzburg yourself
Disadvantages: I don't think there are any

I have been to Salzburg 3 times, all in December. The first 2 times I went was with my Secondary School on ski trips in Schladming which is about a 20 minute drive from Salzburg I think. Austria is an excellent place to ski; the views from the mountains are just amazing. I skied down the Planai hundreds of times which are, if I remember correctly the highest or steepest down hill slope in the world (that you can ski down); please correct me if I am ... Read review

Vibrant, elegant and impressive
Review of Salzburg (Austria) by Saturn

Advantages: Elegant, accessible
Disadvantages: Bloody huge gilded cherubs

Salzburg is an elegant city in Austria about ninety kilometres from Munich, in the foothills of the alps. You can fly there with Ryan Air from Stansted for as little as £4.50 if you get the right flight. Most people know Salzburg as the home of Mozart and The Sound of Music. Luckily, the city makes more (just enough) of the former and not quite so much of the latter. There is much more to do, though. There are many fine churches and cathederals ... Read review
