Salzburg - Mozart's home town and happy 250th Wofgang!

We left early in the morning from the Visconti Palace Hotel taking a taxi (25 Euros) to the train station. We then took Eurail from Rome to Salzburg. Eurail is a great way to go. We had a 5 day / 3 adjoining country pass. We had first class reservations (an additional 10 Euros per person per trip) on most of the trains. The entire pass ran $804 and we still have one day of travel left. I learned that the single ticket from Rome to Salzburg ran about $275 per person so the pass is a good way to go. Let a travel agent help you with this. The Eurail web site does not list all of the options. |

The train system is easy to use after a couple of trips and is very reliable. Be prepared to use taxis once you get to your town - somewhat pricey but well worth it if you are hauling all of your luggage around and not real sure of where to go - like we were.
While going from Salzburg to Schladming, we had a private car and
the scenery was gorgeous ...

One of Jon's must see sights was Bayreuth and the Wagner Festival. Above is the Festespielhaus and the town. |
