If there is one European city that is the most meaningful to me, it would be the city of Salzburg in Austria located on the southeast border of Germany.
Salzburg is well-known to many as the birthplace of the famous composer Mozart; to others, it is known for its appearance in the popular film Sound of Music. To me, Salzburg is the first city I’ve ever visited in Europe.
I first went to Salzburg to attend the wedding ceremony of my two close male friends from Germany and the United Kingdom at Salzburg’s Schloss Fuschl castle.
It was such a magnificent wedding experience that happened in a breathtaking place in Austria which I will always remember as it also opened the door for me to appreciate Europe and to meet a now long-time Austrian friend.
For all these reasons, Salzburg became very special to me and it is always a pleasure to have the chance to visit Salzburg.
What’s more: I also consider Salzburg among Europe’s most beautiful cities. I remember how this city took my breath away when I first explored it on foot: I walked through its old town centre with narrow streets and features many stunning baroque buildings, I ran along the Salzach, a river that cuts through Salzburg, all the way down to the lovely castle of Hellbrunn in Salzburg’s southern suburb. That experience to me, was like as if I were in a film, except I was living the moments in real life.
I also had the chance to see the spectacular, sweeping views of the Austrian Alps from the peak of Salzburg’s Gaisberg.
Here are some snaps I’ve taken myself that show what you can expect to see in Salzburg should you plan to visit this lovely Austrian city.
