Day 5 - Salzburg & Mondsee
We begin the day in Salzburg, one of the most beautiful cities in Austria. From lovely squares and medieval lanes, to gothic churches and quaint cafés, you will have time at leisure to explore everything Salzburg has to offer. This afternoon we visit the crystal clear Lake Mondsee where we spend time in the delightful and principal resort of Mondsee, located on the banks of the lake. Home to the Basilica of St. Michael, the famous wedding church where Maria married Georg von Trapp in the film ‘The Sound of Music’, this gothic former monastery is just as striking today as ever with its two towers stretching 52 metres high.
