What can you say about Salzburg that hasn't been said already? It was our second trip there, and the first was in 2002. It hasn't changed a bit! Mirabell Gardens was as lovely as ever. The Fortress still stands guard over the city. The streets in the Old Town are still narrow and colorful. The beer is still cold and the Cathedral is still impressive.
The only negative was getting to the Tour Operator at the Main Train Station. When we got to the train station we had to walk forever to reach the tour office. The we had to walk even further to get to the correct track. By the time we walked to the END of the train we had walked 1.2 miles! The ride to Salzburg was beautiful, and we had a walking tour of the Old Town and the area across the river below the Fortress. We then had 3 hours of free time. We elected not to go up to the Fortress, since it would eat up 2 ½ hours and we've seen it before. We missed out on some terrific views I could have captured on digital, but I do have them on film from the last trip. At any rate, Salzburg was nice, and it was nice not to be walking 5 mies like we did the first 2 days in Munich. It was nice, but not great.
