Salzburg > Salzburg Experience

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 ... Read review

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 ...
...same thing. 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 taxi from the airport to our hotel when ... Read review

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 ...
...I visited other places in Salzburg but I can't remember the names or exact places, all still very beautiful though, especially the castles. I have only been able to attach a couple of pictures as the others are too large to upload, shame as there are some reallly lovely ones. I hope you enjoyed this short read. I strongly recommend visits to Salzburg. In Fact, I think the whole of Austria is 100% worth visiting; I would absolutely love to go back ... Read review

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 Trap" ...
...the UK this journey could take up to 24 hours. Salzburg is definately worth a visit. If summer if winter - it is a great place to be!! If you would like to have more info please feel free to leave me a note in my guestbook! ... Read review

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