Solo travel experience

I did a day trip to Salzburg by train. Went into the old town for a bit roamed around and then took a bus to the Alps for a small hike. I went up in a cable car and from there hiked to the highest point. The hike was pretty effortless and the view was gorgeous. I recommend trying Apple Strudel from the old town.

Solo travel experience

I loved Salzburg. I went purely because I love The Sound of Music so the tour was my highlight. Mozarts house is worth a visit and I took the cable car up Unterberg Mountain which was fab.I recommend a tour to Hallstatt, it is gorgeous. I felt like I was in a village straight from a Disney film.
