The Beauty of Salzburg

Salzburg, Austria, is located along the German border. While it is the fourth largest city in Austria and the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, tourists flock to the town because of the movie "The Sound of Music" (more on that later).

Salzburg is truly a charming city. It has been named a UNESCO world heritage site for being one of the best preserved cities in the Alps.

Unfortunately, I was only in Salzburg for one full day (most of that was spent on "The Sound of Music Tour") and it was rainy. Salzburg boasts a world class music festival that takes place during the summer months of July and August.

My goal is to return for the festival and spend a longer amount of time exploring everything un-von Trap that Salzburg has to offer!
