    4 Stars Finding Maria Among the Salzburg Crowds Review with images 09/10/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Visually lovely; plenty to do; good food and beer

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite expensive; gets very busy; very Disneyfied

    One of the great things about having a place in Slovenia is its position in the heart of central Europe; this gives us the opportunity to explore the neighbouring countries and in September 2011 we had planned to include a few days in Austria as part of our itinerary. Salzburg was not especially high on my travel wish list but it made a convenient stopping point on our journey from Prague to Bad Mitterndorf, where we’d be spending a few days in the Austrian Alps before heading to Slovenia, and it was clear that there would be plenty to see and do over the two days we planned to spend there ... more

    4 Stars The Stunning City Of Salzburg Review with images 13/01/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages beautiful scenery, superb transport system, lots of things to see

    Disadvantages Disadvantages restaurants close quite early, not much veggie food

    My boyfriend Jamie and I have just got back from 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 from London Stansted and the flight took an hour and forty minutes. Accommodation We stayed at Hotel ... more

    5 Stars Salzburg, the sound of Mozart...music Review with images 29/03/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stunning scenery, wonderful place

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not any

    Tourism based on ancient and modern - Mozart's music genius in the 1700s, and the tunes of The Sound of Music, famous now for 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 to spring. This ... more

    4 Stars The Hills Are Alive... with the sound of Mozart Review with images 30/04/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages In the sun, one of the most beautiful cities on earth...

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

    Ah, Salzburg. The land of Mozart and the Sound of Music. The hills are alive and all that. One of my favourite cities in the world - when the sun's shining, at 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 ... more

    5 Stars Visit the lovely town where Mozart was born 19/05/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages lovely town, beautiful scenery, a lot of history and culture

    Disadvantages 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) and to the importance of salt mining in the area of Salzburg which has contributed to the richness of the population (in particular of the ... more
