Salzburg
A fortress looming over a baroque old town that a certain film made even more famous than the composer born in it, alpine lakes twenty minutes out for the afternoon, and a Christmas market later in the year the whole region measures itself against.
A different trip to the same place: Salzburg & the Salzkammergut lakes.
The best time to visit Salzburg is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 24°C (75°F). Local time there is 06:34 (UTC+2).
