    I visited Salzburg on Christmas day 2019 only for the day. I came for the Hohensaltzburg fortress and Mozart! I didn't even know the connection to the sound of music until I got there. The man at the shop near the Mozart statue was very kind and allowed me to take a picture of the marionettes. If I remember correctly it may have been the same shop where I purchased my authentic Salzburg hat. It's my absolute favorite hat! I love ❤️ Salzburg! In fact I left my heart ❤️ there! I would love to reclaim my heart and visit Salzburg again for an extended period of time. Magnificent city! If I do make it back I would say hello to your dad and leave a lock on the footbridge as a momentum of my ❤️ for Salzburg! 💋

      I believe theres a Christmas ornament shop somewhere near the Mozart house, they have some amazing and charming ornaments for sale.

    I found that April was a good time to visit Salzburg. Just did it as a day trip from Munich. I ended up visiting some kind of spring festival with a tent and lots of wurst and beer, listened to the band and people watched. Sure it is touristy as surely as you find buggy carts tooling around, and shops full of chotchkeys, but the whole city is a museum and you can ignore most of that. Climb the steps to the Capuchin Monastery and visit the little memorial to Stefan Zweig.

    I live in Salzburg and I can confirm, that everything he said is true. Oh and one question..on the Sound of music Tour.. was your guide a guy who really likes to chat, he is either bold or has short hair, he has (as he likes to mention) a thick british accent and was called Bryan? Because thats my Dad..he does a lot of those Tours. I had to think of him as you mentioned the tour, because the way you mentioned it sounded really like my dad😂😂😂

    Thank you for all the information! This video is really helpful.
    I am planning a trip this Christmas to Vienna, Prague and Salzburg. One question I have is, is it worth visiting these places in winter? I am from Chicago so cold is not really a problem but since I am coming this far I don't want to miss out on seeing places because of gloomy weather and things closing early. Just want to know your opinion.

    • @daffydilly1

    • @mimi_sch
      @mimi_sch 4 года назад

      The answer might be a bit late but maybe this will help someone else.
      I am from Salzburg and I would recommend visiting Salzburg in late Spring, Summer or Autumn. Christmas could be nice too because there are lots of markets and attractions... But during that time, the city is also very crowded (even more than in summer) and you wouldn't enjoy walking through and overcrowded Christmas market. From January to March it could be really cold. You can visit the parcs and gardens the whole year but as long as there is snow, you won't see f. e. the "flower artworks" at the Mirabell garden. One thing people (especially young people, students) from Salzburg do, is sitting at the Salzach river in the grass during their freetime talking to friends, eat, drink, watch the sunset. You would definitly miss that experience in winter. Also the trick fountains at Hellbrunn are much more fun to visit on a hot summer day (and closed from october to march I think). I would also recommend walking up the Kapuzinerberg or Mönchsberg (walking not the elevator!). Also getting around by bike is really nice in the warmer months. Be prepared for rain or unexpected wether changes the whole year!
      And of cource I think Salzburg is always beautiful!! This recommandations are based on my personal opinion.

      Take Bus 25 from main bus station to the Untersberg cable car station. It will take about thirty-five minutes.

    Salzburg is a wonderful city to visit...my wife and I were there in December and enjoyed the Christmas markets and the Sound of Music tour...Mondsee,which is part of that tour is a awesome little lake town...the Altstadt is very cool,with many shops and restaurants...your right about the waiters/waitresses...they were 'surly' at best...I don't know what it is about customer service both here and in Vienna...I guess it's a dislike of Americans but not the American dollar...

      ​@@tgamble1000 don't take it seriously, the only people who hate or at least dislike americans are leftists. but they don't like anyone who identifies with their culture and home. for example, i love the americans and the usa. there are bad people everywhere but the americans are a real asset to humanity. no country in the world and no people in the world is as important to all of humanity as the americans. that is just the pure envy of the others who always criticize you. there are many people in austria who welcome you, so don't listen to such stupid people like r93.
      i love my country and austria but my life would be perfect if i was born in the usa. no people in the world have more freedom than americans.

    Austria in general, shit food, shit service, and arrogant uneducated people. I have lived here for five years (not through choice) and the place is a bit shit in my opinion. Many Austrian's think Austria is the best place in the world, they holiday at home, eat only Austrian food, and don't try anything that isn't Austrian, and if they do then they don't like it because it's not Austrian. They all claim to speak very good English, until you start speaking with them, then they soon tell you how they have forgotten it, then continue to claim they speak it well, lol! I can relate to the unfriendly service you get in the over-priced over-rated resteraunts where hygiene is unheard of!

      You wrote that you lived for five years in Austria. And you complain about poor English skills? What about your language skills? Haven't you been able to learn German in five years?
      Once again: You lived in a foreign country and complain, that the people there don't speak your language good enough?
      You are narrow minded, when you postulate that all persons had to speak your language in their country!
