Everybody has that one city they know they will go back to one day and enjoy it . For me, that is Salzburg,

Salzburg was the first city I visited outside my country and I can truly say that it captured my heart and I always wanted to go back there to enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

Probably the prettiest thing you can visit in Salzburg is the Mirabell Palace with

it's gardens filled with beautiful flowers.

Where to stay?

We chose to stay at Tauernhof hotel, a cozy place with a wonderful scenery from the balconies.

Although is located a little bit out of the city center, it's worth it to choose it because waking up to this beautiful scenery is worth everything.

I recommend this place because not only the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly but the food we received in the morning at the bufet was fresh, diverse and there was plenty of it.
