Salzburg - Mozart's City

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Born in Salzburg in 1756, 

so needless to say there are many Museums, Concerts, Walks and Talks and Souvenirs to honour this Famous former resident.

But there are also many other things to enjoy in the City.

You can capture the Romance of a Bygone Era by taking a Horse and Carriage Ride through the Cobble stoned Streets. 

While Passing Mozart's Statue...

Enjoy the Atmosphere of the Street Markets in the Square...

And marvel at Modern Art installations that sit gracefully alongside Centuries old buildings.

Visit Museums totally dedicated to Christmas!

Oh - and the Shops - The Christmas Shops - 

so wonderful with delicate Ornaments.

And the Cathedrals - of course.

This one Does not have A Pipe Organ

It has FIVE !

One at the rear 

and one on each corner 

If you can see - it was being played when we were there

Not sure where the Timpani's would be used 

- maybe they were up there for safe keeping?

You can go shopping for a Steiff Bear 

But just not on Sundays 

Or you will be disappointed!

(- Oh well, put it on the list for a return trip one day! -)

And just to finish-

While we are still on the subject of Shopping

for Souvenirs

Most Tourists did not understand

But the Aussies thought it was Hilarious!

The Motifs read

"There are No Kangaroos in AUSTRIA"

(perhaps not - but our QANTAS card was readily accepted anywhere!)
