🇦🇹 Mozart's Hometown: Salzburg Half-Day City Walk Route

On the way back from Hallstatt to Munich by car, we made a stop in Salzburg 🚗💨 Known as the heart of Austrian music and art 🎵, Salzburg is Mozart’s birthplace and the filming location of The Sound of Music 🎬 🚶If you have half a day, follow this efficient no-backtracking route: Mirabell Gardens → Mozart's Residence → Makartsteg Bridge → Getreidegasse → Mozartplatz → Salzburg Cathedral & Square → Hohensalzburg Fortress 🏯 Attractions: ❶ Mirabell Gardens: Free entry 🌸⛲. Filled with statues, fountains, and flower beds—a famous filming site for The Sound of Music. ❷ Mozart's Residence: You can buy a ticket to enter 🎼 or just take a photo outside 📸. ❸ Makartsteg Bridge: A “Love Lock Bridge” filled with romantic locks 🔒❤️. ❹ Getreidegasse: Salzburg’s bustling pedestrian street—great for meals and souvenirs 🛍️. ❺ Mozartplatz: Features a central statue of Mozart 🎻. ❻ Salzburg Cathedral: A stunning 17th-century Baroque-style church ⛪. ❼ Hohensalzburg Fortress: perched on a hill🏰, it’s one of the largest well-preserved medieval castles in Central Europe. 🥩 Food Recommendation: Sternbräu: Try the Austrian schnitzel 🐷—a local specialty. It’s essentially a giant fried pork cutlet. Tasty, but not mind-blowing 😉. #AustriaTravel #Salzburg #MozartsHometown #SalzburgGuide #TravelAustria #EuropeTravel #CityWalk #TravelTips 🎶🍫📸
