Advantages: This may make you want to visit Salzburg yourself

Disadvantages: I don't think there are any

I have been to Salzburg 3 times, all in December. The first 2 times I went was with my Secondary School on ski trips in Schladming which is about a 20 minute drive from Salzburg I think. Austria is an excellent place to ski; the views from the mountains are just amazing. I skied down the Planai hundreds of times which are, if I remember correctly the highest or steepest down hill slope in the world (that you can ski down); please correct me if I am wrong. There is a small bar/restaurant at the top which I have eaten and drank in many times before flying down the slopes. The food in Austria is very different but also very tasty and the drinks are very strong, hehehe!!

Each time I have been I have shopped in Salzburg. I don't know what it is like at other times of the year but in December it is very beautiful, especially if it is or has been snowing.

I saw where Mozart was born; although I have never really taken an interest in Mozart I found it very interesting reading about him and his life.

I also went to the place where 'The Sound of Music' was filmed. I had never seen the musical but seeing where it was filmed made me watch it, I love it!!!

I went to the top of a place either in or called Dachstein, its 3,000 ml high, about -10degrees at the top but so so beautiful.

I visited other places in Salzburg but I can't remember the names or exact places, all still very beautiful though, especially the castles.

I have only been able to attach a couple of pictures as the others are too large to upload, shame as there are some reallly lovely ones.

I hope you enjoyed this short read.

I strongly recommend visits to Salzburg.
In Fact, I think the whole of Austria is 100% worth visiting; I would absolutely love to go back to Austria any day!

Thanks xxx

Summary: This truely is one of the most beautiful places in the world
