My job as a teacher occasionally takes me to various places in Europe to chaperone my students on school trips. One of these places that I've been to twice now is Salzburg, Austria. Both times have been great! Salzburg is a beautiful city close to the Alps with great history and culture. Last year the weather was sunny and beautiful, but this year it drizzled off-and-on. Still, despite the unpredictable spring weather, the city has plenty to do both inside the limits and outside along the borders.

Now traveling with a school group is a bit different from traveling on my own. I don't get anywhere near as many opportunities to dine out. Still, we do some pretty cool stuff, and I feel it's worth mentioning some of the things we do as a starting-off point for others wanting to visit Salzburg.
