What you need to know before you book your airfare and tickets
Next time you're in Austria, forget about Vienna and book a hotel in Salzburg. Its city centre was listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site and as expectedSalzburg is brimming with beautiful buildings and other architectural wonders. Just walk around the old town and you'll see why it is a listed city centre. Visit the world famous Salzburg Cathedral and also the Hohensalzburg Castle. It's supposedly the largest castle in Europe.And not only that, the views of the city from the castle are quite mesmerizing. Don't miss out on the Mirabell Palace with its neatly cultivated gardens. Look out for the fountain that featured in the movie The Sound of Music. If you want to see more locations of the movie, then there are plenty of tour operators that can take you around many of them. Try Panorama tours that leave from Mirabellplatz. Salzburg is the birth place of Mozart so there is really no way around him. There are loads of monuments that were built throughout town to commemorate him. And of course the Mozart chocolate balls can be bought everywhere. You absolutely can't leave town without bringing them back home.You can also visit his actual birthplace and if all that isn't enough Mozart for you, you can visit his house where he lived later on in his life as well. Dinner options galore in Salzburg. Check out the Alter Fuchs. Never mind the name, the food is all Austrian and tastes great. Another good option is the Zum Fidelen Affen which also serves many local dishes and cool German beer.
