"One order of Salzburg, please . . ." a Salzburg Travel Page by acemj

Yep, this Salzburg page will intentionally be served with very little Mozart and almost no Sound of Music references. Why? Well, I like Mozart's music, but I don't really care much about where he was born and I really don't care about his balls (Mozart balls are chocolates sold EVERYWHERE in Salzburg). And as for the Sound of Music . . . I hate musicals!

Okay, now that that's out of the way, let's talk about Salzburg. In many ways, Salzburg is the living stereotype of the all things Austrian. Wonderful Baroque architecture, good beer and Alpine scenery all conspire along the banks of the River Salzach to create one of the most picturesque cities in Europe.

I was fortunate to be able to spend much of my time in Salzburg with VT member and all-around good guy, globetrott. Michael and I took lots of pictures (big surprise for two VTers) and did a lot of strolling around. We sampled some traditional Austrian food and enjoyed some great Augustiner beers. Hopefully, we'll be able to do it again sometime soon. Thanks for everything, Michael!
