Not the tourist-board order. Pick the day that sounds like yours and start there. The rest can wait for the next visit.
First visit
The big-ticket day
Fortress, palaces, and the card that may or may not pay off. I did the math.
Sit down
Coffee houses & cake
Marble tables, Salzburger Nockerl, and nobody rushing you out.
When it rains
The rainy-day route
Where I actually go when the Schnürlregen sets in.
Yes, that film
The Sound of Music, handled
What is real, what is Hollywood, and whether the tour earns it.
100places mapped, every one walked
6doors into the site, one page
20minutes across the old town, on foot
The local note
Not the tourist board’s categories.
The six doors above are mine. Nothing gets a pin here that I have not walked to, stood in front of, and decided was worth your time. That is the whole editorial policy.
