Salzburg - A few of Our Favorite Things

If you know Dana, or if you read our last blog post, you know that she LOVES Salzburg. Six years ago when I visited Salzburg with Dana, I got a small taste of the city that won Dana's heart. Now after getting to spend another week there, I know there are many reasons why she loves it so much. It might be the always present view of the Untersberg. Or maybe seeing the Festung standing guard above the Altstadt. It could be the amazing people, especially her host family. But then there is the fact that around every corner you find a Sound of Music sight. And even if you get a little lost, it will always be beautiful! There are countless reasons to fall in love with the city of Mozart. I will try my best to share some of these through photos, but really, you need to see it for yourself!

Hellbrunn has a lot of paths to choose from, even ones most people don't choose!

The Steintheater is a must see while at Hellbrunn.

You can even pretend there is an audience and do your own performance!

If you see a zip line, just go for it. If you didn't know, I really am a 7 year old at heart.

The gazebo where Liesel and Rolf sang "16 going on 17".

Hellbrunner Allee - not the actual site of Sound of Music filming but it reminded us of where the Von Trapp children climb the trees.

The front of the house used in the Sound of Music. See previous post for the back of house!

Yup, Salzburg even has an assortment of flamingos to offer!

Don't worry about setting an alarm, this guy has you covered! 

We visited Gwandhaus, home of Gössl. Traditional clothes like dirndl's and lederhosen are made right here in Salzburg! Dana and I have a wish list started!

If you are afraid of missing your cows, Salzburg has the best type - ones you don't have to feed or milk! 

The Festung is one of our favorite sights in the city!

Don't forget to stop by the Augustiner Brewery for a beer, or our personal favorite, a radler!

Taking a walk at dusk by the river shows you Salzburg in a totally different view.

We met up with Dana's friend and former German teacher! It was so much fun to spend some time with her!

We have found a new favorite place in Salzburg. Cafe Tomaselli is known for their coffee and newspapers, but we highly recommend the hot chocolate!

The Altstadt - really, I don't know how you can't fall in love with this city.

The Salzach

Taking the road less traveled, again!

Maybe Dana just fell in love with the sweets. Dana and some friends enjoyed this drink her first time in Salzburg and you can't come here without getting some Mozartkugels!

Mirabell gardens - just another favorite place of ours!
Salzburg. Full of so many wonderful things to see! I recommend everyone to see this historical city for themselves to find all their own favorite things!
