I was lucky to go to Salzburg twice in 2024. It's a beautiful small city, with the fortress looming over the old town. Mozart was born in Salzburg, his family are buried there, and there are at least two Mozart museums on offer. Salzburg also has some well-known venues such as the festival hall. The Sound of Music was also filmed on location around Salzburg, including at the outside of the Nonnberg Abbey, where the original Maria Von Trapp was a novice nun. According to the recent movie Mozart's Sister (definitely well worth watching), if a girl in Mozart's time wanted to be a musician, compose, play pipe organ (similar to what I am currently doing in my own professional life), the only option for her was to join the Nonnberg Abbey as a nun....!!! My photos are a blend of Mozart, Sound of Music and Salzburg landmarks.
