A day in Salzburg

To make the most of Anja and Frauke's visit, my dear frequent travel companions, we decide to head to Salzburg, Austria, in this sunny Sunday morning, and enjoy this sweet little town.

From Munich we drove along secondary roads almost 2 hours till Salzburg. Its not the fastest way but the most beautiful. The mountainous south Bavarian landscape is just spectacular.
I cant lose time to start photographing!

Salzburg is ideal for a walk. The city is small, the streets narrow and all the attractions close to each other. Its very comfortable to check the shops, pass by the birth house of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, have a coffee in the old town, and for me, to experience some new lenses and take some great pictures.

A "must see" place to go in Salzburg is the Hohensalzburg fortress (Hohensalzburg Festung) in the heart of the old town. The beautiful view from the town, the few expositions in the fortress and the fortress itself are definitely worth visiting.

With the Salzburg card here (buy it if you have more time in the town for visiting other places) or buy ticket for the funicular (11,0€ adult fee) with entrance to the fortress, to the expositions and an audio guide right away. A few hours of entertainment are provided.
Below some of my pictures in the fortress. Enjoy!

This short trip was the best choice to be around with my dear friends on a prolonged holiday!
Cheers girls!
