Salzburg, Austria: Christmas Holiday in Old Town

Wednesday, January 14, 2015


For Christmas, Ben thought it would be a good idea if we went with his family to another city. This is how our adventures in Salzburg, Austria started. We drove from Germany over there and settled into our hotel before walking around. Having never traveled to Salzburg (or anywhere in Austria for that matter), I was blown away at how romantic this town could be! We strolled through the cobblestone lined streets of old town, explored the castle, and eyed the festive decorations that lined each shop window.

Overall, it was a very productive trip! Unfortunately the stores were closed during this time so we couldn't go shopping (darn it!) but we sure had fun walking around town and frolicking through the snow.
