Europe Trip – Day 7 – Melk, Salzburg
Leaving Vienna behind and following the road to Salzburg we had to stop at Melk Abbey which is one of the world’s most famous monastic sites.
We eventually arrived at Mozart’s birthplace and the place where the Sound of Music was filmed. We actually drove to Salzburg to the rhythms of the Sound of Music! The sightseeing of the town was unguided and students in groups walked to every corner of it. Visited Mozart’s House and Salzburger Dom (the city’s cathedral), and climbed Salzburg’s fortress to see the panoramic view of the city from the one side and the Alps from the other side.
We of course all tried the giant pretzels that are baked in more than 10 different flavors and the Mozart chocolates. Yummy!
