Austria Vacation - Salzburg

On Thursday we dropped the kids at the ski school and the adults, inc the grandmas, headed to Salzburg. There was no snow there and the weather was pretty good. We walked around the old town for a bit and then got lunch. While Jennifer and Grandma Viv shopped after lunch I took the opportunity to visit a few more churches: Salzburg Cathedral among them. The first church on the spot was built in 774 by St Virgil.

There is so much to do in Salzburg that a few days minimum is needed to see it all: churches, castles, museums, etc. In the main Mozart square was another small church and an outdoor ice rink.

All the churches we saw in Munich, Salzburg, and St Johann in Tirol (near Kirchdorf) were all very ornate and bright. It was a very different feeling in these churches than in the churches in England.
