Advantages: Scenery, Architecture, Atmosphere

Disadvantages: Expensive gifts, -, -

I travelled to Salzburg in June last year - I didn't know much about this Baroque city and I couldn't have claimed to have seen 'The Sound of Music' before my expedition - maybe this was a good thing, who knows?

It is a facinating city - the architecture is breathtaking and so are the views. I can't remember any litter either - something which made it more fantastic.

The gift shops have a lot of Mozart themed goods and the usual tourist orientated things, we can be quite expensive. The streets are an attraction in their own right, and a trip on a horsedrawn carriage is a must to appreciate the city.

There are many tours around the city, the most popular (I believe) are of 'The Sound of Music' variety.I'm not a fan of the Rogers and Hammerstein classic or Mozart - but I still enjoyed the city nevertheless. It is definitely worth a day or more just exploring the city and taking in the sights and sounds of this fascinating city. A real gem!
