Well it seems that we have been so busy that I've not posted anything about Salzburg, Vienna & Prague.
Photo links will be posted at a later stage.
Highlights of what we did in Salzburg included:
- Untersberg Mountain Cable Car to see the Austrian Alps (1836m)
- Hohensalzburg Fortress
- Mozart's Birthplace
- Michael Haydn Museum
- Hellbrunn Castle & Trick Fountains
- Salzburg Cathedral
- Mirabell Palace & Gardens
- Klavier concert
- Good coffee and cake
The weather was so lovely here. This is my favourite town so far on the trip.
Vienna - 4 nights (3 1/2 days)
Highlights of what we did in and around Vienna included:
- Vienna University
- Cathedrals & Churches
- Staatsoper
- Hofburg Palace
- Stephansdom Cathedral (also went to quartet strings concert & Sunday morning choral mass)
- Schloss Schonbrunn & gardens
- Cruise up the Blue Danube from Spitz to Melk and explored the Benedictine Abbey.
- Good coffee and cake
Unfortunately the weather in Vienna was not too kind to us so we spent a lot of time indoors at museums or madly trying to take photos with umbrellas
Prague - 3 nights (2 days)
Highlights included:
- Old Town Square (Tower viewing and the astronomical clock). A bugler plays each hour at the top of the tower too.
- Charles Bridge
- Prague Castle (St Vitus' Cathedral, Golden Lane & Old Royal Palace)
- Czech Museum of Music (Instruments & Dvorak exhibition)
- Concert in St Nicholas' Church (Violin, Piano, Organ, Harpsicord, Oboe & English Horn)
2 days is definitely not enough time to explore this town. We had beautiful warm weather here too.
