Friday February 12:

Today was a very constructive day, as we started around 10 in the morning and got the bus to the center of the city the place we ended up yesterday evening and visited some places.
In fact, as I mentioned before Salzburg is a very touristic city; most of the places included castles, palaces, churches, shopping malls; museums are very close by each other.

As Mozart has made a great contribution to the Austrian and German music and art culture we saw so many places for ballet, opera, theater and concerts.

Unfortunately some places were closed and we could find couples of concert which were affordable to attend and visit.

We went to the Barock Museum, where they kept really classical 17 and 18 centuries Barock style paintings, sculpture, which was fascinating to see how oil spread on the canvases and such a tangible view of drafts, and edges on the canvases appeared which expressed how old some of those paintings are.

Actually, they haven’t tried to renovate in a matter of keeping them as new ones, just maintain them .In that museum we have been told that we could see a concert just in the afternoon by a solo violin and piano musicians.

Another interesting museum we went was toy museum where we could find about our childhood toys.

Actually, I discovered a bit more about my toys and how some of them could be interesting and luxurious, or somehow unique for nowadays for some collectors in Europe.

Then we passed though some churches and monuments and got some nice pictures from snow and how it wrapped most of the statues like a bridal dress.
There is a district in the center of the city which calls “Mozart District” where you an see the place where Mozart grown up and his instruments include his first violin and Piano, sonatas and all music notes from his first official works and his daily practice till end of his short life, letters he had made to his children .
There are pieces of advice for spreading their prodigy blood through their responsibility to the public, and donate it to the art world.

Besides all these we went up to the woods and hills and got the cable railway to the fortress Museum and palaces which are the highest part of the city and you can have a great bird view in fact.
It took us more than 2 hours to observe and scan all the art part which were include the story of history of Salzburg ,war time,arsonal traditional clothes and so on.
Afterward we hit St.Peter commentary which was a very fascinating place to be, even if nobody wants to be and see the momentary, but each ingle grave stone was great with special stones, decorated nicely and a lot of grave places there, were a complete family graveyard with the door leading you inside end to an small garden inside with beautiful monuments and statues of angels, saints and son on.
All those graves, tombs were ups and downs of the hill area covered by flowers and trees and bird’s statues.
Anyhow we tried even beer testing for Austrian special beer as well, and after a big glass of it, we were both woozy for a while.
Salzburg has a nice well down puppet show which worth visiting as well and Sound of Music shows which a bit upper class from the ticket and price but it gives you a unique, pleasant ambience of this artistic city.
We are getting ready to reach to Vienna for tomorrow with all excitement.
