Lady in Salzburg
Blog: A Lady in London - 20 December 2011
After a week in sunny Brazil, I returned to the UK with just a week and a half to go until Christmas. I was ready to get back into the winter spirit, complete with snow. Lucky for me, I had been invited to fly on easyJet’s inaugural flight from London Luton Airport to Salzburg, Austria. [...]

May Day at The White Horse Inn on Lake Wolfgang, Austria – video
Blog: Heather on her travels - 14 November 2011
“You know the water in the lake is drinking quality?” I was told by my new friend Wolfgang, as he pressed me to drink another glass of sparkling Sekt, the Austrian version of Champagne. By this time I was starting to feel a bit tiddly, but it certainly tasted better than a glass of lake [...]

Travel Photo Thursday: Witches
Blog: A Traveler's Library - 20 October 2011
Although the Salzburg Marionette Theater is anything but scary, you’ll have to admit that the witch from Hansel and Gretel is a little scary. I recently learned, however, that the way to keep witches away is to put a pile of corn near you doorway. When a witch flies over corn, she is obliged to [...]This content is a post from: A Traveler's Library To comment on this post or search for related information, click on the link to A Traveler's Library.

The Perfect Salzburg Day Trip
Blog: Landlopers - 31 August 2011
Even though it was April, it was still chilly as we left the train station and headed into the center of Salzburg. We were only there for the day, en route between Munich and Vienna. Since I have watched “The Sound of Music” more times...Copyright LandLopers All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized use prohibited.

Lost in the Hohensalzburg Fortress in Salzburg – video
Blog: Heather on her travels - 13 July 2011
The Hohensalzburg fortress was top of our list of things to see in Salzburg, as it seemed to be mentioned by practically everyone who gave me a Salzburg recommendation. When travelling with the family I’ve learned to visit the thing that you really want to see at the start of the day, while you’re full [...]

Hotel Zur Post is one of those attractive small, family run Gasthaus hotels that you find all over Austria and proved to be a comfortable base for a few day’s sightseeing in Salzburg.

Riding the steam train – on the Schafburgbahn at St Wolfgang- video
Blog: Heather on her travels - 2 July 2011
It’s a while since I read Thomas the Tank Engine as a bed-time story to my kids, but if I was making the Schafburgbahn steam train into a character from that book, I’d say it was a cheerful little engine with a few stories to tell. Who wouldn’t be put in a good mood by [...]

Bratwurst and Sacher Torte – or what we ate in Salzburg
Blog: Heather on her travels - 24 June 2011
I’d hate to be a vegetarian in Austria, where meat features heavily on every menu – it can be rather daunting to be constantly faced with slabs of roast pork, huge bratwurst sausages or goulash made with beer. Most of the food we ate in Salzburg was tasty, rib-sticking stuff majoring on roast meat with [...]

Spring flowers and romance in the Mirabell Gardens – video
Blog: Heather on her travels - 6 June 2011
Having spent the morning on some serious sightseeing at the Hohensalzburg fortress, it was time to relax and soak up some spring sunshine at the Mirabell Gardens on the other side of the river. We came at it by a rather circuitous route, walking parallel with the river and looking for a way in, passing [...]

Cars, Planes and Smart Food at Hangar 7 in Salzburg
Blog: Heather on her travels - 23 May 2011
From the outside Hangar 7 looks like one of those modern, glass encased, out-of-town car showrooms, but step inside and you might imagine that you’ve walked into a rich boy’s toy cupboard. Here are shiny, brightly coloured Formula One cars, flame red motorbikes, a helicopter there, a restored vintage plane there, but these shiny toys [...]

Riding the Unicorn in the Mirabell Gardens – Salzburg
Blog: Heather on her travels - 20 May 2011
On a summer’s day in August back in 1967 my family spent a day or two sightseeing in Salzburg. There were 3 little girls, Heather Mary (the sensible one), Jennifer (the naughty one with ginger hair and freckles) and Jillian (the baby of the family). Here we are having fun riding the stone unicorns at [...]

Salzburg: Following the Sound of Music
Blog: WildJunket - 11 February 2010
I was a kid when I caught ‘the Sound of Music’ fever. As a child growing up in tropical Southeast Asia, watching Julie Andrews prancing on the green plains, with castles and lakes as the backdrop, I had no clue if that was for real. This winter it couldn’t be more real.

Saturday Guest Post: A Von Trapp Vacation in Salzburg
Blog: Atlas Parasite - 12 September 2009
Submitted by: Chiara Atik New York, New York Growing up, I had one dream. I wanted to go to Salzburg. Actually, it would probably be more accurate to say that I wanted to wake up one morning as the 8th Von Trapp child in “The Sound Of Music”, and it would preferably be the morning [...]
