Salzburg, Austria is one of the most beautiful towns in Europe and well worth a visit. And as usual Mark Wolters is giving his five things you will love and hate about visiting "Salzburg, Austria"
Filmed in Salzburg
born and raised in america, knowing very little about my family that comes from salzburg, i've always wanted to visit and learn about my people..
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.
Amazing to see how you started and how for you already got with this channel :)
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.
Just want to thank you for all your videos. I am starting my planning and organisation for interrailing certain parts of Europe for a month next summer and your videos are a big help so thank you! Danke Schoen!
Dan Crespin Awesome to hear we are helping out! Thanks! And have a great trip!
You have been a life saver, thank you so much. ❤️
@macrent2 stayed there before. Austria in general has some really top hostels. thanks for commenting and watching!
great clip , I love Austria !!
Was there August 2012, beautiful city. The Augustiner brewery is place you quickly mentioned. It was one of my highlights of Salzburg. Great place to have a beer and lunch/dinner and reasonably priced too.
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😂😂😂
That's cool. Salzburg was my favorite city when I did a 10 day tour through the region. i loved the bakery by the water wheel. I look forward to taking my daughter next time. Does your dad still do tours and what is his contact info?
Salzburg is amazing! I stayed in a youth hostel that was tucked away north of the train station in a church. It was not expensive or too touristy.
Mozart lover. I HAVE to visit this place, period! Thanks Wolter!
If you like Mozart you will LOVE Salzburg
Yeah, great you enjoyed it at my hometown! :)
Btw: At the beginning of the video you can see a lot of bigger buildings on the right, they are all schools (even mine, the white one) :D
Omgoodnesssssss look at youuuu!!!
@wojtek0000 Das stimmt, die Ausblick davon ist wunderschoen.
Ich sehe da nie Einheimische. Hast Insider Tipps? Electro Clibs wärn cool auch
I think they will do what they did in Wittenburg where they changed the name to to Luterstadt Wittenburg to name it after martin luther :)
yeah... i recall being not so fat... then visiting Salburg... at christmas time... yeah, i have never fit in those clothes again... ugh ;) thanks for the comments!
I love this video cause he is totally 100% right
Living here since 24 Years and i cant agree more to mr Wolter
Danke!
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.
I wish someone would have answered you...we are going to Munich, Salzburg and Vienna in November and December for tourist stuff AND the Christmas markets.
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.
i visited all of those cities in a summer and I really liked them..
I am from Salzburg! :)
Anyone kind enough here who knows how to travel to Cable-Car Untersberg from the main area of Salzburg? What bus could I take?
Take Bus 25 from main bus station to the Untersberg cable car station. It will take about thirty-five minutes.
Der Festung is schön. Ich war dort.
I want to go there to work in restaurant , i smile a lot
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...
Dojocho ein typischer Amerikaner ist ganz dämlich und total oberflächlich, in meiner Meinung.
You don't know 'jack' about me bro...I've been all over Western Europe...how about you...ever been to the States? I know one thing...as Americans we spends thousands of dollars every year in your pitiful little country...
@@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.
sorry for my google translator english. i tried too learn by looking only english video on youtube.
@@m.h.s.9059 ...my wife and I had a great time in Vienna...we stayed at the Das Tyrol Hotel off Mariahilfer Strasse in the Museum Quarter......visited all the historic sites, ate at great restaurants and enjoyed the Christmas Markets...drank good Gosser and Steigl beer, apricot schnapps and gluhwein...would love to see Graz, Linz, and Innsbruck...
I'm going in October would that be considered the 'off-season'?
Yes, absulutely.
Which month was this video shot ? We are going in 1st week of April so don't want to experience this kind of weather !
Aprils gonna be nice
it aint expensive if you stay at the hostel, look it up
I visited Salzburg in july 2012. Packed with tourists ? I wouldn't agree with "packed" Venice, Italy is packed but not Salzburg. About the costs, it gets as expensive as you allow it to be. I'm a budget backpacker guy who never eats out at restaurants and stay only at campings/hostels.
great city stayed at ante portas...and tried getting college babes!
Go to The Republic and hear The Lungau Big Band.
drink 2 beers there, you be rolling down the hills by the river.
Geez this is an old video
No years house
I've been to Austria many times and I can't believe the nasty comments on here about the country. They are more conservative than Americans yes. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
All the Mozart stuff? No kidding!! Total Mozart overdose!! Literally everything is Mozart in this city. And if you're on a diet, let's see how long you can stay off the Mozartkugeln chocolate balls!!! Mozart and chocolate insanity!
Oh and can anyone guess who Salzburg airport is named after? hum... that's a tough one!!
Daffy Duck
Without the 'tourist' dollar Salzburg would have to go back mining salt to survive...those include the U.S. dollar...
Austria is a beautiful country, but unfortunately my experience was horrible.
Service in restaurants was horrible, and the hygiene was 0%. The majority of waitresses were extremely rude and racist.
(Not to offend anyone but I'm speaking of my experience it was sh*t)
Lucia a never ever
Same thing in Germany
not all people want to shop like an usa person and work 24 hours a day salzburgh like life with the family this why its not 24 hours in euroupe .There is another point austrian do not have to be a film star and shout like all usa people with chesse grins like usa person .austrian work hard play hard and are serious not falls shallow people like all usa a people ie have a nice day So if you dont understand the country do not do these vids Iam a uk person ,usa cuilture has change my country sp bad ! So if you are an usa person do two thing do not go into rooms and shout so every one no you are there! this is true in frankfurth airport were i hate be because of usa citzens shouting make there selfs no ! because some one dose not over smile and be so far untrue by smile at you like a cheser cat do not thing there un happy to wait on you he s most like more happy than the person who takes the money at the check out back home be more no falls because hes not read from a training manual script from a large usa company manual ! so if you want to come to euroup and fit in relax do not shout and in this cause look how the austrian behave in publice ! then make a vid for this guy as you will be an expert at fit in and may learn that the usa is all bit of a big deal of image and falls show especially in custommer service! for all you who say have i be to the usa yes i have over 11 vists to usa i have even been in wyoming and east /west coasts and central corn belt this why i notice usa people straight away !
I'm sorry you feel that way about Americans...the way I view the Austrians is that they still believe they are part of the Austro/Hungarian empire! I found the Germans much more friendly and helpful...
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 have lived here for five years and you complain about poor English skills of the Austrians? Learn German!
... but Salzburg is very nice city
namenlos40 Narrow minded Person automatically assumes that I don't speak German! Sign of typical austrian arrogance!!
Jonny English
What the fuck are you talking here?
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!
I spoke German before even coming here so for me that wasn't the biggest Problem. I just find that many austrian's think they are something they are not.
