Soft September light, pastel-coloured buildings that look like they belong on the pages of a fairy tale, misty mornings, and portraits of Mozart everywhere. Hohensalzburg Castle high above the city, where Daniel got his first sword and shield set and pretended to be a knight in shining armour for the rest of the day. Salzburg Toy Museum, where we spent a rainy afternoon, and the place Daniel remembers the most from those six weeks in Europe (don’t ask me about hours-long, tearful discussions we had with him when all he wanted was to go back to Salzburg when we were already thousands of kilometres away). All the Christmas shops that are open year round, filled with thousands of beautiful, handmade baubles.
These are the memories we have of Salzburg, one of the most fairy-tale like places we’ve seen.
We stayed at Star Inn Salzburg Zentrum, which was pretty basic, but was located in just a few short minutes walk from everything you have seen in this post.
