Lake District

Salzburg in itself is great to visit, and what takes it over the top is its proximity to a variety of lakes. We went on a Sound of Music tour which took us to a couple of them.

Summer Music Festival

I passed through Salzburg during their summer music festival and was able to catch a show. It was incredible. A violinist and pianist (husband and wife) played some fantastic music.

Charming Houses

These are some of the houses we saw as we toured the lake district. Alpine villages seem to have this type of flavor.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Music, Food, Recreation - What else is there?
  • Cons:Mozart way over-commercialzed.
  • In a nutshell:The Hills Really Are Alive!

    When we were there in 2003, we didn't actually go into Salzburg or take the Sound of Music Tour. Both would have been nice, but we ended up in the salt mines outside of town for a fun tour.
