Salzburg


After a week in Vienna we spent 3 ½ days in Salzburg. We had originally planned on going straight to Munich, but I did want to see Salzburg and I’m so glad we went there.
We stayed at the YoYo hostel, which was really good. They served up some pretty cheap dinners, and the breakfasts were great value too!

We went to the salt caves and the ice caves one day.

They used to mine salt in the old days and it was one of Salzburg’s main income streams.
The walk to the Ice caves was very steep and its very cold in the caves but it was sooo worth it. There are naturally formed ice structures that change every year. The tour in the caves lasted about 2 hours and we were freezing by the time we got out.






We had one day with not much to do so we decided to visit Hangar 9, which was an exhibition space right next to the airport. There was an origami exhibit that we thought we may as well see as we had nothing else to do. It turned out to be fantastic. Some of the origami was amazing and a lot of skill was used to create the pieces. There was also a whole bunch of planes from a stunt flyers group to add some zing to the exhibit.
On our last day in Salzburg we walked up the hill and you can see some great views from there.
