| Family Travels Salzburg |
| Salzburg is one of our favorite cities. We visited in 1990 and loved it. So it was on top of our list to do again with the children. Plan on spending at least three or four days here. There is so much to see and do. You can roam the streets of old town and not get lost. Must Sees Visit Mozart's Birthplace The Hohensalburg Fortress and its Museum The Sound of Music Tour You must visit Hellbrunn Palace Other sights The Residenze, the Cathedral, The Festival Concert Hall etc, St. Peter's Cemetery...are great fillers but don't miss The town market, a picnic on the river, trying one of the local sausage stands playing in the Mirabell Gardens, Having dessert--the Salzburfer Nockerl--at Stiftskeller St. Peter Visiting the fun beer hall (even with kids) Augustiner Braustubl. |
| Getreidegasse Our favorite street Naturfreundehaus...is at the top of the cliff...we stayed here in 1990 for $16 a night. |
| Take the funicular to the top The Castle is ok...use the audioguide and skip through some rooms The museums are good for kids |
| Hohensalzburg Fortress |
| Mirabell Gardens A great place to walk (or run or skip) around. The kids will love the garden tunnel |
| Glockenspiel In 1990 tourist were allowed at the top when it chimed. Being "dingbat" was a great memory...alas, no longer allowed |
| Augustiner Braustubl A great beer hall filled with lots of food stalls...you go around and pick up the food you want and join the lines for beer . Loud, vibrant and lots of fun Above: Photos from 2001 Inside Right: Photos from 2009 Outside www.augustinerbier.at |
| Mozart's Birthplace And don't forget to try Mozart Chocolates sold everywhere! |
| Stifftskeller St. Peter has been in business for 1000 yrs We stopped in just for dessert Salzburger Nockerl-- a meringue in honor of the local mountains. |
| The food was great and the meringue was even better. It was stacked a foot off of the table Brent, age 10 |
