The Stunning City Of Salzburg

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 ...
...
Time Difference
Salzburg in Austria is only 1 hour ahead of GMT so jet lag was not a problem.

Currency
The currency in Austria is the Euro.

Getting Around Salzburg
I have travelled to quite a few places and I have never come across a better transport system than the one in Austria. Although taxis are available I would not recommend this method of transport to people although we did get a ... more

Salzburg, the sound of Mozart...music

Advantages: Stunning scenery, wonderful place
Disadvantages: not any

...just over 40 years. Salzburg has it all, the music story, wonderful, old, historic buildings and the majestic mountains bordering a lovely, open rural plain. 'The Festival City and its beautiful surrounding countryside' - that's what my glossy tourism book says and I agree through and through. My winter visit was magic. Snow was not as predominant as it usually is in February but enough on the stunning mountains to add the feeling of winter turning ...
...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 ...

Disadvantages: ... but in the rain it's nowhere near as good...

...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 him while he ...
...b/ if you have a Salzburg Pass. More of that later. Other places worth seeing are the palace residences, which feature some of the most gorgeous and well preserved surroundings I've ever seen, and the HoenSalzburg, Europe's oldest completely intact fortress, which dominates the surroundings wherever you are in Salzburg. The tour is interesting, showing you how the fortress was altered by successive Archbishops, how Salzburg developed from a small ...

Visit the lovely town where Mozart was born

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) ...
...of Salzburg which has contributed to the richness of the population (in particular of the Archbishops). The most important and recommendable sights where I have been to are as follows: THE OLD TOWN You can see most of Salzburg by just walking around. Situated on both sides of the Salzach river, you can see a lot of lovely buildings, parks and the main shopping streets. The Cathedral, located at the Domplatz, is a very nice 17th century building ...

Fairytale City

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 around. ...
...could find out why the Salzburg inhabitants are called ‘Bullwashers’. Topically, it is written on the side of a huge bull statute. The view over the city is fantastic. The city is in a little river decline between three large outcrops of mountains/hills and looks fab from up at the castle. The only criticism of this place is that it seems a little as though it is waiting for Christmas. One of my new ambitions has been to visit this beautiful ...

"St. Francis Church" Salzburg, Austria

Advantages: One of the oldest churches of Salzburg
Disadvantages: -

"Franziskanerkirche" in Salzburg is special in the history of European architecture. It is one of the oldest churches of Salzburg. In the year 774 this church was first mentioned. At that time it was a baptistery and used to be part of St. Peter Monastery. It was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. In the year 1139 it became a parish church, but this church was one out of six churches (including the famous Salzburg Cathedral) which burnt down in the year 1167. The church was originally rebuilt in 1123 but only part of this is now still remaining. In the year 1408 it was rebuilt yet again. The choir in its present form (except, of course, for the decorative additions made in the baroque period) acts as a centralizing space which unites and harmonizes with the late Romanesque nave. It is known that the choir was still ...

Simbach am Inn

Advantages: Friendly, Clean well located
Disadvantages: None

selling various items and even a Twinning Stall, Simbach is twinned with Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales and it was lovely to see items about Skipton on sale in this small Bavarian Town.. Shops in Simbach sell local crafts and much of the produce is of high quality. Simbach has its own railway Station with frequent links to Munich and the Airport (via the S Bahn), there are also links to Salzburg in Austria ( about 40 KM) and beyond.. If you want a quite Town with good road links to the rest of Bavaria and into Austria for a family holiday where you could easily brush up on your German Language then Simbach just has to be the holiday for you.. Clean, Friendly and reasonable cost at the Gottler ( £30 a night for a double room or £20 for a single).. I can recommend Simbach to you ...

Fortress With A View Worth Walking To!!

Advantages: Beautiful views, educational, reasonable prices
Disadvantages: not very disabled friendly

As me and Dayle (my girlfriend)have just returned from our holiday in Salzburg, Austria I thought I would write a review on the Hohansalzburg Fortress we visited while we were there. Location. The Hohensalzburg Fortress is situated on Mountain of Hohensalzburg and the fortress looms over the City and you can really see how prominent it is if you sit in the Cathedral Square below and look up at it. It can literally be seen from most parts of the town. The fortress can be accessed by the cable car system. However, on the day we visited the fortress, the cable car was not in operation. This posed no problems for myself or my girlfriend but I have to admit that it was a fair trek up some steep hills and stairs to reach the entrance of the fortress. I am not sure if the cable car works on a seasonal basis (season being May ...
