I had always wanted to visit Salzburg because The Sound of Music is my favorite musical and the town is filmed throughout the entire movie. You can see everything in the Sound of Music in person and it still looks the same and more beautiful than I thought it could be. Sightseeing Salzburg has more than the musical to explore.The town is so quaint and filled with beautifully colored buildings, gardens, mountainous views, lake country, etc. I went on a Sound of Music Tour to check off all the locations I wanted to see around Salzburg. If you are interested in the tour you can check out my Sound of Music Tour.How To Get ThereIn order to get to Salzburg, I took a train from Vienna which cost €25/person. I took the Westbahn Train and it was a clean, smooth, quiet ride to Salzburg. You can either purchase a ticket in advance or when you get to the station. There are machines everywhere so you shouldn't have an issue buying a ticket. Just make sure to check train times and come early to get your ticket.Sightseeing Salzburg Mirabell Gardens/Palace Hotel Sacher Old Town Lock Bridge Fortress Hohensalzburg Mozart Birthplace Sound of Music Tour Lake DistrictFortress HohensalzburgFortress Hohensalzburg is a must when sightseeing Salzburg. The views are worth it! You can either take the lift up and down or hike up the hill. I chose to hike up and ride down. The views of the city from the hike up were worth the climb. It's not too strenuous just steep and if you have bad knees it might be a good idea to save them and take the lift.There was a small fee to ride but again it's worth it to see the city and surrounding mountains from the top of the fortress. The ticket was €12 and it included an audio tour guide, castle museum, puppet museum, Rainer Regiment museum, Alm passage exhibit, and travel up and down the funicular.Where to StayOnce I arrived in Salzburg it was only an 11-minute walk to my hotel from the train station. I stayed at the Crown Plaza Salzburg- The Pitter. The location of the hotel was perfect! It was a five-minute walk to the Mirabell Gardens/ Palace, short walk to Hotel Sacher which is famous for their chocolate cake, stroll across the river to Old Town, hike to Fortress Hohensalzburg, and plenty of restaurants/shops. It wasn't cheap to stay here but a perfect location for anything that you wanted to see or do in Salzburg.For cheaper hotels or accommodations you can look at Airbnb to save you money and still visit Salzburg in style.Restaurant RecommendationsThere are so many different choices and one of my favorites was a small cafe on the river near the lock bridge. At the Crown Plaza in Salzburg, there is a rooftop restaurant that has a view of the city. These are on opposite ends of the price spectrum. The cafe was pretty cheap but great food and the rooftop had amazing views and food.Salzburg is a dream destination! From the small town feel, mountains, lakes, and kind-hearted people. Don't hesitate to put Salzburg on your travel list because it is a must see.Follow my blog via email for updates on new destinations, health tips, and budget travel hacks! Auf Wiedersehen!
