It was fun to take the bus to see Salzburg with its musical history, picaresque side streets, interesting shops and statues. We had an original Sacher torte, a nice meal at the Elefant Restaurant and a very pleasant day to see the sights despite no help form the weather.

With lots of lovely architecture, plenty of reasonable priced places to eat and drink and a genuinely warm and... More

Worth a visit in Austria. I think 2 full days should be enough for strolling around the city or town. Otherwise, add a few more days if you also want to go biking around the city, that should be fun!
