Kerri (USA):
Salzburg was an interesting European town. We enjoyed a free music concert at Mirabellgarten. Mozart's Geburtshaus was okay; you would probably really like it if you were really into Mozart. The trick fountains at Hellbrunn palace were fun, and the view from Hohensalzburg Fortress was probably our favorite part of trip to Salzburg.

Not bad for a salt mining town. I thought it struck a fine balance of modern convenience and Old World charm. Europe as it should be.

Although often obscured from view by its proverbial drizzle, the old city and especially the fortress of Salzburg are a great sight. The latter is a castle as it should be, and the town itself is charming and well-preserved, even though it is often crowded with tourists and all the Mozart stuff can get on your nerves after a while. Still, it is one of Europe´s great townscapes.

Synonymous for me with Mozart and music (the summer festival is a real treat), I was pleasantly surprised to find how beautiful the city of Salzburg is as well. The wrought iron shop signs, winding streets, and imposing castle on the hill typify the quaint Austrian town. Interestingly enough, my visit to Salzburg coincided with the filming of a Bollywood film in the Mozartplatz; a touch of India in Austria!

Salzburg is my favorite touristy city. It does get a bit cutesy and Disneyesque, but I still love it.
 
samnuan (thailand):
Salzburg is truly beautiful especially when you see it from mirabell garden, the old city is nice and easy to walk around it's very touristy, everyone come to see mozart birthplace and The Sound of Music location film. but if you don't care about music and film salzburg is just a normal europe town.
