When most people think of Austria, one of two cities come to mind: its capital Vienna, or Salzburg, the setting of the classic 1965 film The Sound of Music. We love Vienna, but for great views of the alps and a different experience of Austrian culture, it’s worth making the trip to Salzburg in the western part of the country. While the views from Salzburg never get old, two days are generally enough to see all of the major tourist attractions. Here are the ones we suggest you don’t miss:

Sound of Music Tour

Visit Nonnberg Abbey, see the Lake District, and explore Mirabell Gardens all within one guided 4-hour tour. The tour ends at Mondsee Cathedral, and you can be sure that the drive between sites will include plenty of “Do-Re-Mi.”

See Mozart’s Birthplace or Enjoy a Concert

One of the most famous and influential musical composers in history called Salzburg home for the first part of his life, and the city continues to celebrate him to this day. His home has been turned into a museum, and concerts of his works are performed almost nightly.

Visit Hohensalzburg Fortress

This medieval fortress is probably the most recognizable landmark in Salzburg and one of the largest castles in Europe. Free quick tours are given twice daily, though tickets are available to be purchased for more in-depth tours as well.

Beautiful palaces can be found in pretty much every major Austrian city, and Salzburg is no exception. In addition to being known as Mozart’s birthplace, this charming city is home to several stunning palaces that will make you fall in love with its classic architecture and rich history.

Mirabell Palace

This 17th-century palace is located in the heart of Salzburg’s historic center, and it’s equally beautiful inside and out. Mirabell Hall, which has a lavish ballroom and concert hall serves as the venue for Salzburg Palace Concerts, but this palace will also win you over with its ornamental gardens.

Schloss Hellbrunn

Speaking of Salzburg’s palaces with beautifully landscaped gardens, it doesn’t get much better than Hellbrunn. This 17th-century Renaissance palace features everything from pleasure gardens and novelty fountains to a theater, but you won’t find any bedrooms inside because it was envisioned as a day residence.

Fortress Hohensalzburg

This large medieval fortress has been around since the 11th century, and it’s one of Salzburg’s top tourist attractions. It’s one of the largest medieval castles in Europe, and its hilltop location makes it even more magical because it offers amazing views over the city to the Alps.

As couples around the world are trying to create beautiful memories together, traveling during this period counts as one of the best ways to do just that. 

The old continent itself has a long tradition of charming cities that provide a deeply romantic atmosphere and lots of activities meant to be enjoyed by couples.

Here are our favorites! 

Venice, Italy 

The “city of water,” also known as the “city of bridges,” is the most romantic place in all of Italy, as anyone who’s ever been there can confirm! From riding the popular gondolas and visiting the Piazza San Marco, to kissing under the Bridge of Sighs, Venice offers a lot as one of Europe’s top romantic destinations. 

Bruges, Belgium 

The so-called “Venice of the North” is known for the best chocolate in the world and its extravagant cuisine. The most popular romantic place in this town is the Minnewater Lake, which is known as the Lake of Love.

Salzburg, Austria

The birthplace of Mozart is much more than a historical site – it is also an attractive romantic destination! The loveliest places here include the Mirabell Gardens, known for their 11 bridges, and the Beer Museum, which is the largest one in the world.

If your fascination with castles is real, you have to continue reading this piece. Europe is the continent where you’ll find all sorts of stunning castles that are actually an important part of history.

The Castle Of Mont Saint Michel, France

Mont Saint-Michel is an amazing castle in France, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It features a breathtaking castle, along with a number of other must-visit spots.

Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

This magical castle will literally blow your mind. It is located in Southwest Bavaria. Neuschwanstein was built in 1869, and each year is host to over 1.3 million tourists.

Hohensalzburg Castle, Salzburg

Located above the city, Hohensalzbur Castle not only provides a great view, but it is also one of the most prominent features of Salzburg. If you are up for a walk, you can get to the castle on foot and enjoy the sights on the way up.

Conwy Castle, Wales

Another amazing creation, this one located in Wales. It was built in the period between 1283 and 1289.

Kilkenny Castle, Ireland

This is one of the most beautiful castles in Ireland. Kilkenny was built way back in 1195, but still looks exactly the same. It is a big attraction, so if the road ever takes you to Ireland you have to visit it.
