Welcome to Salzburg
We spent the day in Salzburg on a full days excursion out of Passau on our river cruise. It is a beautiful city in the Austrian countryside. We did a walking tour through the city to Mozart’s house and the surrounding old city. After lunch we took a funicular to the “Fortress” overlooking the city. It was a really good day.
