Altstadt Salzburg

Towns · Europe › Austria › Salzburg › Salzburg › Altstadt Salzburg

An afternoon in the old town on a wet grey day, the big cafe umbrellas up over rows of empty wooden chairs, market stalls at one end of the square and the smart shops down the other. Salzburg wears Mozart heavily - he was born on Getreidegasse and you will not be allowed to forget it - but the setting does the work regardless, with the fortress sitting up on its rock above everything. Rain suited it, honestly. Get up to the Hohensalzburg for the view over the rooftops to the mountains.
