: All about Salzburg,Austria We spent just half a day in Salzburg before heading to Hallstatt, and this little Austrian gem absolutely delivered! 🇦🇹 A bit of history: Salzburg, whose name means “Salt Fortress,” grew wealthy from the salt trade and has been a cultural capital for centuries. It’s the birthplace of Mozart and the backdrop of The Sound of Music. Today, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels like stepping into a storybook. What to do in Salzburg : - Mirabell Palace & Gardens – stroll through the Do Re Mi steps and blooming gardens. - Getreidegasse – the famous old shopping street with pastel façades and wrought-iron signs (and Mozart’s birthplace!). - Salzburg Cathedral & Domplatz – baroque beauty at the heart of the Old Town. - Hohensalzburg Fortress – take the funicular up for panoramic city + alpine views. - Cafés by the Salzach River – perfect for a quick strudel stop before moving on. Even with just a morning, Salzburg’s charm shines through — music, history, mountains, and that magical Austrian vibe. If you’re traveling to Hallstatt, definitely make a stop here.
