We walked from the train station to the older part of Salzburg. This is where the Dom Catherdal and the main Christmas markets are located. It was fun to do some exploring on our own and love that we could walk everywhere.
Salzburg is rich in history and is the home to Mozart and the Sound of Music.
The Dom Cathedral was redesigned during the Thirty Year's War and was consecrated in 1628. Its origins though, date to an earlier cathedral founded in 767.
The Christmas Markets surround the cathedral and nearby areas. We spent the afternoon checking out the hand made Christmas trinkets, sipping Gluhwein (hot wine), tasting the handmade deserts (chocolate covered pretzels) and getting into the Christmas spirit.
