Travel - Salzburg Surprises me!


Salzburg is a 2 hour train journey from Munich.

There are a few things that Salzburg is famous for, firstly it was the filming place for a few scenes in The Sound of Music and it attracted many fans of S.O.M to visit Salzburg. Secondly, Salzburg was the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Which group do I belong to?

None. hahahaha.

But because of the sunny yet cooling weather, I enjoyed the whole day in Salzburg. Here are some of the most breathtaking and gorgeous views I have ever seen! =))

Salzburg surprises me!

Walking from the train station, we arrived at Mirabell Palace and Gardens where the filming of the S.O.M was done. I thought I should just attached one of the famous song in S.O.M and you will see the beautiful scenes that never changes even after so many years!!








Crossing the bridge, we will enter into Salzburg Old Town. =)


Below is a Museum of Mozart's birthplace. 



Below is the Salzburg Cathedral.


Why I chose this picture is because if you enter through the gates into the church, you will see that the (yellow) crown will slowly descend on the head of The Statue of Mary. I just thought the design was cool! haha. *the crown is on the building at the back, while the Statue of Mary is in the center.*


We decided to visit the Hohensalzburg Fortress and I love it! The view from the highest point was awesome!


Took a funicular up!


The first thing that hit me was the WIND actually! The wind was so strong up there! Then it was all those beautiful fortresses!





After all these, here comes the breathtaking photos of Salzburg city!








A 360 degree view from the highest point of Salzburg. I stood there for quite sometime just admire the beautiful creations! =))


Decided to end with this picture, a cafe on the fortress. Can you imagine enjoying a cuppa of coffee with the breathtaking view?

Yes, this is the place where I had the unexpected! Didn't expect it to be so beautiful!
