Take some pic outside our hotel.
The Golden Roof actually is the three-story balcony on the central plaza at the heart of the Old Town. It was constructed for Emperor Maximilian I to serve as a royal box where he could sit in state and enjoy tournaments in the square below.
Take a break and have our lunch at the rest station along the highway.
Too dry for me
We find their food are very salty and realised that they took a lot of salt to keep themselves warm.
Weather: -7 degree
Salzburg- Mozart square
The place where Sound of Music was filmed.
All the flowers are covered by the snow
Mozart-Wohnhaus Salzburg is the building, where the legendary composer Mozart is said to have resided. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived at this site between 1773 and 1780. The building is located at 8 Makartplatz in Salzburg. It is at this site that Mozart is known to have composed 'Salzburg Symphonies'.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Birthplace.
The house in Getreidegasse 9 was the living place of the Mozarts between 1747 and 1773 and here Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was born on the 27th of January 1756. The famous "birthplace".
The hard pretzel-E2
Considered by some to be the most perfect Renaissance building in the German-speaking countries, Salzburg Cathedral has a marble facade, twin west towers topped with green domes and a large green-roofed dome over the crossing. The bronze doors (1959) illustrate the themes of Faith, Hope, and Love.
The church's simple sepia-and-white interior, a peaceful contrast to the usual Baroque excesses, dates from a later renovation. It is decorated with elaborate Baroque murals, some of which were designed (along with the altarpieces) by Mascagni of Florence. The dome was damaged during World War II but was restored by 1959.
Near the entrance, look for the Romanesque font at which Mozart was baptized. The great composer later served as organist here from 1779 to 1781. Some of his compositions, such as the Coronation Mass, were written for the cathedral, and many were performed here for the first time. The font is made of bronze and decorated with reliefs of saints.
It is said that the Salzburger Nockerl were invented by Salome Alt, the concubine of Salzburg′s Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raintenau in the early 17th century. They are supposed to represent the hillsides surrounding the city of Salzburg: the Gaisberg, Moenchsberg and Nonnberg. The dusting of powdered sugar resembles the snow-covered peaks.
