Jonathan first visited Salzburg by himself and he wanted to take me back someday. Salzburg is Sound of Music country and it was the first city that came to his mind when we were brainstorming where we would take three-year old Xander.
Salzburg is laid back and charming, with the lovely Salsach river that runs through the center. The Kapuzinerberg mountain with the Capuchin Monastery and Monchsberg mountain are walking distance from the AltStadt (old town), with its lovely Baroque architecture.
Salzburg is the birthplace of Mozart, and although Mozart is a bit overdone here, it is still possible to have fun without being overwhelmed by the kitch.
We stayed in the AltStadt and spent most of our visit outdoors. We ate at outdoor cafes on the Salsach. We took the stroller and followed the small road that tangled its way through the mountain to the Capuchin Monastery. And we discovered some amazing parks with fabulous play structures or cool locations.
We visited Salzburg shortly after our court date in Stavropol, Russia. All three of us were travel weary, and Salzburg was the perfect place to recharge our batteries and prepare for the rest of our adventure.
