Zoo Hellbrunn (Zoo Salzburg) welcomed us with a heavy rain… very heavy, but very short. The Zoo is based on the menagerie of the Prince Archbishops of Salzburg, who kept exotic animals. That fact makes Salzburg Zoo the oldest Zoo in the World- about 300 years old. The location of Zoo is ideal for its [...]
It was so much fun to watch joyful faces of the visitors of Salzburg’s (Austria) 400 years old Hellbrunn Palace (Schloss Hellbrunn). One of the attractions here is a water garden where for an admission fee of 9.50 Euros (Children- 4.50) you can get soaked by trick fountains hidden everywhere- in the benches, statues, pathways… [...]

Hallstatt history begins at 777 CE when Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria in a document from that time mentioned salt production at the headwaters of the Traun River, which feeds Lake Hallstatt. The salt mines are located in the mountain right above the Downtown Hallstatt and attract many tourists. Tourists are told that Hallstatt is [...]
The most beautiful place I visited on my EuroTrip this year was Hallstatt- Alpine village located near the Hallstätter See (a lake) in the Salzkammergut region in Austria. I arrived in Hallstatt by train from Salzburg. The train ride through beautiful countryside full of lakes surrounded by mountains was amazing! On arrival I took a [...]
The first sight I visited in Salzburg, Austria was a Mirabell Palace (built in 1606) and its Gardens, considered to be one of the most beautiful Baroque gardens of Europe. It is an amazing place surrounded by fountains, statues, flower beds and walkways, perfect for a peaceful break in the shade of trees. Many tourists [...]
