For lunch, we stopped by one of the Landzeit Autobahn Restaurants.   According to our tour manager, Ricky, Landzeit Autobahn Restaurant is named as one of the best autogrills in Austria.

It was our good fortune to have snow greeting us at our very first stop in Austria.

Knee high snow

Salzburg Austria is well known as the city for the filming of “Sound of Music” and the birthplace of Mozart.

After watching the movie “Sound of Music” whilst traveling to Salzburg, we visited some of the places where the movie was filmed:- the Mirabelle Gardens, Residence Square, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s birthplace at No. 9 Getreidegasse Street. We also saw the Salzburg Duomo and the Salzburg Castle. And since Christmas is just around the corner, there was also a Christmas Market where we were given some free time to roam around and enjoy the snowfall.

The ever popular musical, "The Sound of Music"
