Salzburg ... The elegant city, where the Great Mozart was born, and where the IMG leaves, as fresh pastries, marzipan candy, named in his honor. The beautiful edge guarded by the stone firm of the majestic fortress of Hohensalzburg, few people will leave indifferent.
The fourth city in Austria, adjacent to the German border, is always full of tourists. Someone attracts the story of music, someone - prestigious universities, and someone is the picturesque surroundings that have come down from the pages of magical fairy tales. I was also drawn here as a heavy duty magnet, a huge stronghold on the top of the festung, where the archbishops had previously dwell, and an old cemetery, topped with a small cozy chapel.
Be prepared to rush shoes to holes, running from one attraction to the other. They are apparently invisible in Salzburg. Start the way from the gardens of the Mirabel Palace - the romantic monastery of the Archbishop of Salzburg, neglecting all church prohibitions in the name of love for an ordinary woman. Although from a magnificent building that survived the fire, a little survived, the surrounding park surpasses all expectations. Neat flower flower beds are concentrated around the carved fountain, and the role of the fence is performed by a live fence. Having considered the bizarre signs on the ancient street of the hetrajdegasse, take a picture of the house where Mozart appeared, and now there is a museum, and visit the mansion where he lived in young years.
Warn the greatness of the Cathedral, in which the brilliant composer was baptized, and remember the history of St. Rupert, who founded Salzburg on salt deposits. Be sure to look at the window of the acting male monastery of the Benedictine, where the patron saint of the city was restored, and examine all the funeral inscriptions on the Suede Tombstones of the Old Town Cemetery. Be careful to be carried away, as I, not be behind the closed gates of the kingdom of the dead, working for alive only until 19.00.
Nearby are the catacombs, where monks lived at the dawn of Christianity, and the lift leading to the Dominant of Salzburg is a magnificent fortress. Mighty stronghold, which served as a symbol of the grandeur of the church power, and now amazes with its massiveness. In fortification, untouched wars, there are Museum of Inquisition, weapons and several pretty restaurants with very decent prices. And with its impregnable walls, an unforgettable view of the city surroundings opens.
Walking around Salzburg, try delicacies in the confectionery "Furst open in 1884, and visit the toy museum in Austria. Play in giant chess on house square and find out where a huge golden ball took in an old town. A day spent on narrow streets will be enough to fall in love with this amazing edge forever.
