My sister and I decided to go for a daytrip to salzburg, just wish we had had more time there – would love to go again.

If you decide to try the Mozartkugeln the originals come from the Fürst cafe (there are several around the city center). They have a blue and silver wrapper. I’m told they have more marzipan in them than the others. I’d recommend the champagne truffles instead – I pick some up every time I visit.

It was a quick trip, not even a whole day but boy was it beautifull, really a magnificent city with old and modern ways, wanna go back definetly!

This was the first place I ever went outside the United States (well, the traveling took me through Munich but literally just passed through, so doesn’t count.)

I have lived on The Sound of Music for years, understand—I went with my high school choir, and we had just completed our senior musical—you guessed it. (I was, sadly, just a nun, having lost my favorite parts to the plethora of talented girls in my class. I digress.)

To go and SEE these places, to stand in Nonnberg Abbey and poke around the countryside—it made the whole world real to me in a way it never was before. Ever since, I’ve had wanderlust, just to recapture that feeling.

OH —and this is not a little thing. But for a singer, there with my choir, one of the coolest and most powerful moments in my life came when we stood in the Dome and sang as the choir for an Advent Mass. Sheer bliss and awe.

Don’t wait for the night train at the train station. Beggars and homeless can be a nuisance.

Been there in 96 but I was rather rushed as I had to be in Munich to meet sy foreign exchange sis at a certain time. Next time I go, I hope to go on the Sound of Music Tour.

The music,,, the beauty and the charm of this place beckons me and i hope to see this place in march-2008

Wonderful city. My best friend and I visited over 3 years ago and had an unbelievable time. The old city center is amazing and the fortress is perhaps the coolest castle in all of Europe. We partied at an Irish pub in the old city and met lots of fun people. I felt I could wake up everyday in that city and be happy. We had planned on making another trip but due to sad events I will be without my friend next time. I will make it though, and hopefully soon! Maybe I will stay! :)

no doubt during a few week tour i had of europe as a kid, salzburg was one of the coolest memories. salt mines. they’re good for kids.
