Fortress Hohensalzburg

Seeing a true middle ages castle, along with the lifestyle, customs and ruling of it is truly an amazing experience. The castle features a lot of stuff: from sightseeing at the top of the keep tower, to how peasants were imprisoned in the dungeon and how the castle was built, history around it and a museum. This has been a big dose of history for me, so for any enthusiasts out there looking to learn a bit of history during their trip, i totally recommend this place. Lovely castle. Some steep stairs to climb but fantastic views. Museum is good it's just a shame you can't get to see more of the rooms in the castle given the number they have. Great historical demonstrations in the castle Square, especially for young children to see such as stone masons, singers, blacksmiths etc. It was very busy and difficult to get photos without members of the public on to share on here so apologies. #austria #awesomepic #urbanexplorer

Fortress Hohensalzburg

The fourth largest city in Austria, the capital of Salzburg state, is Salzburg city, which is known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Salzburg is the gateway to the Alps, and the beautiful Salzach River divides the city into the old town and the new town. The city has churches and monasteries with unique features and a long history. In the center of the city stands the Mirabell Palace, along with its palace gardens and fountains, as well as the Salzburg Fortress, which can be seen from anywhere in the palace gardens or the city and is a symbol of Salzburg. Salzburg's most famous pedestrian street in the old town is Getreidegasse, which is full of various gift shops and food snack shops. Number 9 on this street is the building where Mozart was born, which is now the Mozart Museum. In the city, there is the first Baroque-style church, the first monastery in the German-speaking area, and the oldest surviving convent in the world. When traveling to Austria, Salzburg is a must-visit place. Walking in the exceptionally beautiful and green Salzburg, which is shaded by trees, is worth a visit.
