14th December 2008Yesterday, as plan, we went to Austria for a day trip. The location of our trip to Salzburg, the 4th most beautiful city in Austria and the birth place of the famous Mozart as well as the location where the Sound Of Music was born.
We manage to rent a car a day earlier and lucky for us, there was a GPS inside and thus, make our trip easier. We, initially, with the help of our local friend here,plan to ride the car till Burmoos for a train ride in to the city but change our mind last minute for some reasons. It was about an hour journey from our place to Salzburgand the ride was a smooth one in deed as there were not many cars around. We set out at 8.30am and by the time we reached there, it was around 9.25am which means we have plenty of time to roam around. So, from here onwards, my journey will take you through our experience by using pictures, so enjoy.
 | Salzburg - The view of Old Town over the river of Salzach |
 | Salzburg - Dreifaltigkeitskirche |
 | Salzburg - Mozart Home. Need to buy ticket to enter this place. You can either buy ticket for this place only or ticket that covers 2 places which is his living home and birth house place. For this ticket, it will cost EURO$10 but we did not plan to visit his Birth place home, thus we only buy the EURO$6.50 ticket which cover the living home only. |
