TOP Hotel Mozart, Salzburg

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) 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 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.

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

...it is very easy to explore both sides. I think the town is very quaint and pretty with little cobbled streets running between different roads. Nightlife Salzburg is fairly quiet at night time which personally I found quite nice, no drunks running round the streets making noise! There were a few bars in town as well as out of town that served coffee and tea etc as well as alcoholic drinks. We did not notice any nightclubs although in all honesty, we did not look for any either. The atmosphere in the pubs / bars in the evening was relaxed with people just sitting round and talking quiety over their drinks and soft background music which you could easily talk over the top of.

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

...if it is or has been snowing. I saw where Mozart was born; although I have never really taken an interest in Mozart I found it very interesting reading about him and his life. I also went to the place where 'The Sound of Music' was filmed. I had never seen the musical but seeing where it was filmed made me watch it, I love it!!! I went to the top of a place either in or called Dachstein, its 3,000 ml high, about -10degrees at the top but so so beautiful. 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... Read review
