Salzburg - any comments?
 
Thinking of having a short city break in a few months time and Salzburg is really cheap to get to - cheap flights.

So, anyone want to give me any gen on it.

PS - I already know all the Mozart and Sound of Music stuff related to it but that's not necessarily selling points.

Truly beautiful city, and easy to walk around the city centre.

Quite expensive when you are there, but on the positive side, unlike lots of other beautiful European cities, which people go to for a city weekend break, you won't find loads of British stag and hen parties weeing in the fountains!

I once went out with someone from Salzburg, and they are very nice people, and like us Brits.

If you decide to go I'm sure you'll love it.:)

Great place to buy just one hot chocolate, and sit and people watch at a street cafe.

But, if you really do love the music of Mozart, Salzburg is a must place to visit.

It's like Dumfries unless you'r into Burns don't bother if it has nothing to offer save being the birthplace of Mozart its about as interesting as plate of mince without potatoes.For onece I must dissagree with you jamesicus, try Venice instead just as cheap this time of the year.

Beautiful barocque churches in Salzburg.......not to be missed.....also take the lift to the castle.....great view from up there.....Keep an eye out for the street musicians near the entrance to the castle.......they are amazing.All in all.....a lovely city.

I was there a few weeks ago in Feb. Went out from Liverpool with RyanAir. About 2½ hours flight. Busses outside the terminal are every 20 mins and it's only 1.80 euro to the main train station ("Haupt Bahnhoff").

Recommend brushing up on the old Deutsch which always goes well with the locals. "ein bier, bitte" etc! : )

Have a good one!

I went about 10 years ago, I was on a scout camp at the time a short distance outside Saltzberg, we travelled in for the day. We did all the touristy things including going down the salt mines, I know it sounds naff but its worth doing just for the beautiful caves and things, also you enter them via a big slide so you get a bit of a thrill ride to!!!

The arcitecture is beautiful, and there are loads of little bistro cafes and things.

I would go again now if I had the chance.

Never mind Mozart, I would like to think the members are aquainted with his works, I suggested, Venice as Gale is involved with art, mid penine etc that this venue mighn't be a good exercise in the appreciation of real art and not the grotesque structures that are being passed of as art in our area.;)

never done salzburg, if you are after architechture as well as a damn good night,can recommend Barcelona, much very unusual Gaudi stuff there, like nothing you will see anywhere. also an amazing display with the fountains early evening. but if you fancy salzburg,have a great break.:)

Only been once cashy on a day trip one Sunday, those fountains were only run either once or twice a day bacause of water consumption, the Ramblas where you could buy anything ,with the waiters dodging the traffic to serve customers in the centre amused me, they reckon it is a covered river no doubt someone will enlighten us, yes a truly great City.

Gayle 19-03-2007 19:23

Re: Salzburg - any comments?
 
Well, we've booked it so we're going. My reckoning is that it's only two days and it will be a break, and I'm sure there's enough to keep us occupied for two days without having to resort to Mozart or the Sound of Music.

not sure about it being a covered river but la rambla in spanish means intermittent water flow from the arabic ramla - sandy riverbed

i think it was more of a term used to describe the flow of people through the official 'les rambles' containing all the interconnecting streets between placa de catalunya and port vell.

a truly wonderful place to visit

(i may be wrong though)




re salzburg - some beautiful architecture and plenty of mozart history
otherwise very expensive and imho if you aint there for the mozart then try somewhere else.

It wasn't too long after july that the Belgiums reek havoc on Accyweb! Flashy, you got some 'splaining ta do???;)

All this talk of foreign adventures . . . . Does this mean I'm not thinking things through? I thought Accrington was a world renown tourist attraction? Am I wasting my time planning a visit? Or is seeing "the gang and their Accy Meet antics" well worth the trip?:D
