Interrailing 2014
Again we are very lucky with weather and Salzburg was baking hot today. Which according to the tour guide is relatively unusual. We took a 2 hour tour around Salzburg to see the main sites. We were shown grand buildings built by prince-bishops, many sites where the sound of music was filmed, places to do with Mozart and classical music plus numerous churches. Salzburg is an old city and quite grand as it gained wealth from it's salt and marble stored in the mountains. Nowadays it's main industry is tourism. However the city prides itself on it's investment in music, including operas, festival halls and it's music university. We also went round the small markets and walked along the beautiful riverbank.
