Salzburg is one of the prettiest cities I have ever been to. Each day that I was able to spend there did not disappoint in terms of beauty, and it did not disappoint in other aspects either. I had a great time in the city, and I was able to capture some of its beauty. Come check out the pictures for yourself, and see if you think I’m telling the truth.
Hellbrunn Palace – During our city bus tour, one of our stops was at the Hellbrunn Palace. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the opportunity to go inside, but the grounds were exquisite. No surprise there. The palace itself is massive, and it blew my mind it was only considered a day palace, so no bedrooms are inside.
Mirabell Gardens – The grounds here are one of the prettiest I have ever seen! The designs are gorgeous to look at, and we even had the opportunity to see flowers being planted into the intricate designs. It was pretty cool!
Wolfgangsee Lake – During the Sound of Music Bus Tour, we made a pit stop at this lake. I cannot get over how picturesque this landscape is. Because I’m super corny, I also have to let you know that here you will find that ‘the hills are alive with the sound of music’!
Hohensalzburg Castle – The views from the castle are amazing! So beautiful. You can see the entire city, as well as the river and the mountains. And it genuinely surprised me that you can hear commotion from the city as well. When we were visited, there was a car race throughout the city, and you could hear {and see} them from the castle!
Makartsteg Bridge – This bridge connects the two sections of the city, which is separated by the Salzach River. As you can see, individuals and couples have adopted the idea of attaching locks as a symbolism for their everlasting love.
Mirabell Gardens – Not only do these gardens have elegant flowers and designs, they also have multiple fountains. We were also able to attend a free concert — full band and everything! This is definitely the place to be in the evenings.
Hellbrunn Palace – This beautiful pathway is located just outside of the entrance to the Hellbrunn Palace. I didn’t have time to walk down that far, but the path seemed to go on forever! There were lots of people walking and biking through…somehow I was lucky enough to not capture even one!
Salzburg, Austria – Because any view with gelato is a beautiful view indeed! Right behind us you can see the Makartsteg bridge, and all the people out and about ready to enjoy the pretty day!
Hellbrunn Palace – Remember the song ’16 Going on 17′ in the movie The Sound of Music? Well, you’re looking at the pavilion that was used during that scene!
Hohensalzburg Castle – Take it in. Go see it for yourself. Breathtaking is an understatement. I could stare at a view like this all day long!
Salzburg, Austria – On the way up to the castle, we passed this market place filled with stands selling souvenir gifts, and we came across this massive chess board. I didn’t notice anyone playing chess on our way up or down. If I knew had to play chess, I would have definitely engaged! It reminded me of a mini chess board from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone!
Salzburg, you’ve been good to me, and I will definitely be back to enjoy your views, your people, your ice cream, and your culture. I could never tire of everything you have to offer, and I am thankful for the opportunity to get to know you even for just a little bit! Thank you for the friendships created, the information learned, and the laughs shared. Thank you for the beautiful memories, the wonderful people, and of course, for the delicious Hugo!
Well there you have it. Some of my pictures from my amazing trip. I hope these photos were able to portray even a sliver of the beauty that this city has to offer. Have you ever been to Salzburg before? What did you think of the city? Let me know in the comments!
Love the Wolfgangsee lake’s view. Beautiful! Seems like you had a great time there. Would love to visit sometime. 🙂 http://www.clairebearblogs.com
Isn’t it gorgeous? And yes, I had such a great time! You should definitely try and visit if you can 🙂
Omg it looks like you had so much fun! Those mountains are absolutely breathtaking!!
It was a blast! The views are like no other that I’ve seen so far 😍
The lake and castle look absolutely stunning… Also what is a day palace haha? I get that there are no bedrooms but did they really have a whole palace just for the day time? Seems incredibly inconvenient!
Thanks for the mega info though, definitely puts Salzburg on my list of places to go in the future! 💚
Haha I’m right there with you! Makes no sense to me at all…but I guess if you can afford it, why not? But then what happens if you want to take a nap?! Haha thanks for reading, and hope you’ll be able to visit!!
I actually thought about the nap problem too haha! Great minds think alike 🙂
I *still* haven’t been to Austria, but I really want to book a trip after reading your post! Funnily enough, I only seem to think of visiting it in winter (probably because I associate it with Christmas markets, etc.) but now that I’ve seen your photos with the beautiful blue skies and the sun, I’m really considering it for a spring/summer trip! It looks like you had a lovely time. 🙂

I’ve heard their Christmas markets are second to none! So I’ll have to make at least one more trip back to see what it’s like in the winter. But yes, the summer was amazing!! And I had a great time!
Wow, what amazing travels!!! I love the photos and the incredible views! Take me with you!! Haha!
Thank you, thank you! And yes, let’s go! I’m always down for an adventure!
That dress looked really comfy! I am a huge Sound of Music fan so I’m fan girling over the pavilion!
That dress is super comfy, AND it has pockets! {I was on the fence until I found the pockets}. And ah then you would love the Sound of Music Bus Tour! It took you to all these amazing locations and you learn some very interesting facts. For example, the movie is not famous in Austria, Germany, or Switzerland!
Beautiful sites! Would love to travel there some day. In the interim, thanks for letting me live vicariously through you!
I hope you’re able to go someday as well! And of course 🙂 Thank you for reading!
Great pics.I have added Salzburg to my travel bucket list.
Thank you! And I hope you go one day 🙂
I love what you’re wearing. It feels comfortable and refreshing. I would love to visit Austria one day. Your photos are catchy.

Thank you! I try to dress comfortably as often as I can. Hopefully you’ll be able to visit this beautiful city one day!
Looks like you had so much fun! I love Austria!
It truly is an amazing country! And yes, I had a blast 🙂
Love the beautiful photos and the locks on the bridge!!
Thank you!! My favorite lock bridge was the one in Paris, but they took the locks off that one 🙁
Looks gorgeous. I haven’t been to Salzburg – only Vienna but would love to see more of Austria on another trip.
I feel like Austria as a whole is a beautiful country! I’d also love to explore more cities 🙂 Hop you’re able to visit Salzburg one day!
As an Austrian living on the other side of the world, it was so lovely to see your joy and appreciation of Salzburg! Austria is a lot of things, provincial, close minded and traditionalist, but it is also these things that have kept it beautiful and unique – like a scene from a Brother’s Grimm fairytale!
I couldn’t fully capture the experience I had in Austria in photographs, or through words. It was truly an amazing time. I’m so happy I was able to visit the beautiful city!
