A visit to Salzburg... Salzburg is Austria's Disneyland. Kitsch, kitsch and more kitsch... "Hey, did we tell you Mozart was born here?" What they don't tell you how much he HATED the place... At the time it was provincial, and limiting... Mozart felt he had to get out; kind of like how an actor would feel growing up in Waco.
Now however, Salzburg is world renowned, for a lot of things. The beauty of the city and surroundings, the great music festival every summer, and of course, Mozart. Nothing wrong with riding that horse, is there?
We started our visit at the top, walking to the Festung Hohen Salzburg, the fabulous castle at the top. It really doesn't get better than this, as far as views go.
The thing is, there is a lot more to Austria than Salzburg.
