Advantages: Nice small town

Disadvantages: none

The mention of Salzburg often reminds people of the Academy-Award-winning film - The Sound of Music. Indeed, with The Sound of Music, Salzburg may not be what it is today.

The fact is, Salzburg is more than "The Sound of Music" town. To those who loves musics, they certainly do know that Salzburg is also a birth place of great musician, Mozart. Places of interest include Mozart's Geburtshaus (Birthplace) amd Wohnhaus (Residence)

A place that you must not miss visiting is the Schloss Mirabell, which its garden featured in the Sound of Music. Another place you must not miss is Festung Hohensalzburg, a fortress up the hill. It takes about 15 minutes to walk up the hill, but alternatively you can take Festungbahn (cable car) return for AS34 (about 2 pounds).

From the hill you can see down a square where lies a gigantic chess grids. Normally 2 players will be playing chess at that grids, while the rest surround them as they battle. The square was also a popular site for peddlars selling souvenirs and food. These peddlars accepts both Aus Schillings and Deutch Marks.
