Salzburg pictures

Snapshots from my day trips to Salzburg, from the old town’s squares to the paths on the Mönchsberg and the Mirabell Gardens.

SALZBURG PICTURES: These are from a couple of my trips to Salzburg, my first one in spring 2008 and another in spring 2011. Salzburg is a hard place to take a bad picture of, which helps. For how to get there on a Bayern-Ticket and what to see, have a look at my guide to a Salzburg day trip from Munich.
