Salzburg is one of those rare places that's actually as pretty as the postcards. It's a perfectly preserved Baroque town squashed between two mountains and a river. Ignore the Sound of Music kitsch (unless you love it) and just get lost in the Altstadt's alleyways. The best views aren't from the fortress, but from the Mönchsberg path on the other side.
the stays we’d put our own family in first.

You hear Salzburg before you see it properly: a cascade of church bells tumbling down the Mönchsberg, echoing off pastel facades in the Old Town. This city is a composition. The Hohensalzburg fortress provides the booming percussion from its hilltop, the Salzach river is a steady rhythm cutting through the centre, and the Alps are the silent, brooding audience in the distance.
Of course, the city has its two famous soundtracks: Mozart and The Sound of Music. You can’t escape them, and you shouldn’t try. Lean into it. But the real joy of Salzburg is found in the quiet moments between the crescendos—ducking through a hidden passageway off the crowded Getreidegasse, the smell of coffee and apple strudel from a centuries-old cafe, the cool, echoing silence inside the Dom.
It’s a city that can feel like a museum, polished and perfect. It's not a place for grit; it's a place for cream cakes and classical concerts. The crowds in summer are intense, and you'll pay a premium for the prettiness.
See it in two days. Best in shoulder season (May or September) when the tour groups thin. It's the perfect, polished start to a trip into the more rugged Austrian Lake District for contrast.
