Germany opened my eyes to many things. Austria opened my mind to classy things. As an American living in Germany, I exposed myself to the rooted culture of European living. I saw how Germans nicely hand paint dish-ware and create to the most beautiful cakes. After spending a couple days in Salzburg, Austria, they certainly exceed the chicness of any Germany speaking culture.
Upon entering the Old Town corridors, I fell in love with the cuteness of the streets, shops and cafes. Situated alongside a cliff wall, visitors see a different type of European city. Meandering the streets, my eyes noticed how precise their artwork is. Every cuckoo clock was etched with care and every hand painted egg contained unanimous patterns that exuded the energy and time spent to creating something beautiful.
Walking past certain venues, I knew at one time or another aristocrats schmoozed here once before. Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, has no shortage of memorials signifying the brilliance of this 1700s musician. From squares to museums, the beloved artist’s energy is still alive. For those who want to experience the Sound of Music can book the “hop on and hop off” bus to see the most significant sites used during the film.

My visit occurred during Oktoberfest season where locals dressed in their authentic lederhosen and dirndls to frolic the streets with their horse named Fritz. Smelling the lebkuchen and snacking on giant brezels, Salzburg keeps getting better.
The intensity of their elegance ignited upon entering the St. Peter’s Cemetary and Catacombs. Never in my life did I see such a beautiful cemetery that triggered my photogenic eye. Bountiful amounts of flowers rested atop of gold-etched crosses and tombstones while gazing at the beautiful Cliffside surrounding.
And the views kept getting prettier, atop of the Hohensalzburg castle that dominates the hill towering above Old Town. How beautiful. How serene. How Austrian. It was almost surreal that a place this nice still exists in the world. During the warmer months, get a bite to eat or drink at the panoramic view café.
I recommend visiting the castle near sunset to end the day on a perfect high note – along with some Mozart kugeln.
