Salzburg was absolutely beautiful! Actually, all of Austria is absolutely beautiful. Everything is so green and mountainous and absolutely gorgeous. Salzburg is the birthplace of Mozart, so there is a TON of history here. It is also where “The Sound of Music” was filmed, so you can just imagine the green landscape surrounding the city. A huge Fortress also sits perched upon a mountain overlooking the city, so overall, it is quite a picturesque place.
My favorite day was our “mistake” day. We went on our own walking tour of the city and decided to take a detour. It ended up being a hike up a small mountain that overlooked the city. We had the entire place to ourselves with 360 degree views. It was sunny, hot, sweaty, and gorgeous! Salzburg is great, but due to its rich history, there are a lot of tourists in the city. Not an overwhelming amount, but after spending 3 days in Innsbruck where we felt like we were the only travelers, it was a different experience.

Salzburg has a ton to do, has great food, and is a stunningly beautiful town. However, due to all the tourism, I have to recommend exploring the other less traveled villages and towns as well. Austria is an amazing country rich in history and nature, almost every town and city will have a ton to do and see. A bonus is that they will have less tourists and will likely be surrounded by mountain ranges just begging to be explored.
Austria is a MUST VISIT country, but when you do visit, Salzburg
is also a must see. It is too pretty to not go for at least a day to walk
around and site see. Plus, there is a “love lock” bridge and if you’re lucky
enough you can put a lock on the bridge and throw away the key! That way you've
locked down your love forever in a beautiful setting. It is also A GREAT excuse
to come back to the city and attempt to find your lock! I loved Salzburg, but am
thoroughly enjoying Austria in general.
