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 packed into the old town, this is after all home of the Prince Bishops and it shows. If you don't like gilded cherubs, take sunglasses and valium. If you have a big thing about spectacular gilded plasterwork in a 'I don't care if it is hideous just make it bigger than every one elses' kind of way then you will be in heaven. If you like castles and views, this is the place with not one but two mountaintop fortresses on either side of the river.
Salzburg is also excellent for food and shopping. If you need a hotel, try the Wolf-Dietrich Hotel which has the only (so far) accredited organic restaurant in Austria and very fine it is too. Its on the web and they speak English, so if you have read this, you can find them too.
Enjoy.
PS. I enjoy comments . . .
