In 2020 we had plans to travel to Austria and Germany - then COVID hit! This summer nothing will stop us! We spent 4 wonderful days in Salzburg. This is the first of two videos on our adventure.
If you have only two days then you might consider this (summer) plan:
Early morning hop on a bus and head out of town to The Untersberg, mountain for a birds eye view. Have lunch on the top of the mountain.
In the afternoon (or after a nap) Explore Old Town on foot and take in all the sights and sounds of the city. Search for a restaurant that fits your tastes before heading out so as to avoid having to do that while your walking around.
If one of your days there is a Sunday then check to see what kind of service is scheduled at the Salzburg Cathedral. You don't need to be Catholic to attend! Go for the beauty and spectacle (most services are just one hour.) The service that we attended had a fantastic choir. Either way head over to Mirabell Palace and Gardens (Sound of Music park) to start your day. After lunch hike up to the Hohensalzburg Fortress (which we will feature in the next video.)
We purchased the Salzburg Card upon arrival and it saved us a lot of money. With the card one gets free admission to many of the most popular sites in Salzburg and discounts at many other. It also provides no cost transport on local public transportation, which was really helpful.
