We arrived to our final stop in Austria, Salzburg, in the afternoon after driving the hour from Hallstatt. And while we were really excited to get out and explore the city, unfortunately the whole day was pouring rain. We ventured out from our hotel for the night at the Hotel Sacher but were soaking well within about 30 minutes so we opted to head back to the hotel, dry off and stay in for the evening. Salzburg is definitely a city I’d like to get back to in the future and explore. While we didn’t see much, we did wander through the Old Town and see Mozart’s birthplace, but I know the city has so much more to offer so perhaps a trip back in better weather would offer more to see! We finished off our day in Salzburg with dinner at the hotel and our last slice of apple strudel while the rain continued to pour outside. All in all, I’d love to return and see more of this beautiful city but for now, here’s what we did with an evening in Salzburg.
Traveling to Austria?
See all of my posts on the country!

Austria is so lovely! I also indulged in a good bit of Apfelstrudel when I was in Vienna 🙂

I unexpectedly fell in love with Salzburg while I was there. I enjoyed the most delicious hot cocoa at Cafe Mozart! It’s such a beautiful city, even in the rain! Great post.

It really is such a vibrant, enjoyable city!

While most people feel rain ruins a vacation I absolutely love it. The streets feel cleaner as does the air, there are fewer crowds, and you get to see a city in a different light. Mozart playing and a traditional dessert in the form of an apple strudel sounds like a pleasant weekend. I could only imagine how beautiful Salzburg is. Thanks for the photos!
Cheers,

I actually love rain and don’t mind it when traveling, though our day in Salzburg it was pouring pouring rain and made it difficult to really get around without being completely soaked. But the city is beautiful and I can’t wait to get back to explore more!
