Trip to Salzburg 🇦🇹

Just a short trip to Salzburg. On the first day, we were basically exploring the Old Town. We visited Mirabell Palace and Gardens which was built in 1606 by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich Raitenau for his mistress, Salome Alt. The palace and gardens are a stunning example of Baroque architecture and design. We spent sometime to walk around. The buildings were all very unique. 📍Mirabellplatz 4, 5020 Salzburg, Austria We also visited Mozart's Birthplace.The house where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on January 27, 1756. Now a museum dedicated to his life and work. They exhibited Mozart's early instruments, portraits, and original documents. Worth to visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📍Getreidegasse 9, 5020 Salzburg, Austria We also explored around the Hohensalzburg Fortress. It is one of the largest medieval castles in Europe, built in 1077 by Archbishop Gebhard. It is MUST visit place if you wish to see the panoramic view of Salzburg. 📍Mönchsberg 34, 5020 Salzburg, Austria. We also visited the Salzburg Cathedral. A Baroque masterpiece originally founded in 774, the current structure was completed in 1628. 📍Domplatz 1a, 5020 Salzburg, Austria We then visited the most popular restaurant, Gasthof Goldgasse. We ordered their signature Kasnocken (Austrian cheese noodles).🍜 Suprisingly, it tasted so delicious and the price was very cheap ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📍Goldgasse 10, 5020 Salzburg, Austria We then explored around Hellbrunn Palace and Trick Fountains. It was built in the early 17th century by Markus Sittikus, the palace is famous for its whimsical water features. Do visit the Trick fountains ⛲️ it was so beautiful 😍 📍Fürstenweg 37, 5020 Salzburg, Austria We then visited the Untersberg Mountain 🏔️ The mountain has a mystical reputation and offers breathtaking views over Salzburg and into Bavaria.
