We decided to rent a car one day and travel to Salzburgh since it was so close to where we were in Germany. Salzburg is right there across the border. Right now there is some serious construction on the beltway surrounding Salzburg. Once you get into town Park Your Car! There is very little hope of driving anywhere. The gridlock is amazing. But once we parked we were able to walk around the old city quite easily. The old city is very compact. Both sides of the Salzach River are high rising hills that provide a commanding view of the city and area.
Favourite spots:
Hohenhofsalzburg, the big castle overlooking the city. Residenz, home of the Arch-Bishops, Kapuzinberg Gartens Getreidegasse - shopping
What's really great:
Kapuzinberg monastery give a view back over the Salzach River of the old city. It was quite picturesque
Sights:
Hohensalburg, Dom and Domplatz, Residenz and gallery, Mozart's birthplace.
Hangouts:
Lots of little cafes. Pick one you can't go wrong.
