Christmas Day! Salzburg, Austria

After breakfast on Christmas morning, we headed to Austria. An hour an a half later, we were in yet another Christmas market! Salzburg's stay open until the 26th. Who knew? We had actually come for other reasons...


We had plans for evening... We took a funicular up a very steep mountain to Festung Hohensalzburg.

At the Fortress, we enjoyed dinner, 3 courses, before moving to another room in the medieval fortress for a concert of Mozart, Vivaldi, Dvorak and Sschubert. I suppose you can imagine there were violins... 5 to be exact, plus a cello and a double bass.
