Salzburg - The Sound of Music

Salzburg, Austria → see more

After taking a train from Innsbruck we arrived in Salzburg. Birthplace of great composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The same city card what we got in Innsbruck we bought in Salzburg - Salzburg Card. It gave us free movement on any transport, free admission to most of the attraction including the cable car in Untersberg which is absolutely a must! More informations about Salzburg Card you can find here.

Hohensalzburn Fortress, entry to the castle and funicular is included in Salzburg Card.

We decided to visit Berchtesgaden, Germany from Salzburg for a day trip. Was very foggy the day we went there so we couldn't see the mountains around us.
