Conveuropean

In the summer of 2011 my dad came to Europe for the second time and we meet in Berlin. From there we did a small trip including Vienna, one of the cities he really wanted to visit since he is in love with the classical music. I used to have a very interesting colleague at work from Vienna so based on his comments I was also very interested in visiting the city. We had a very good time there and one the plans we did was to attend a concert at the State Opera. The building was built in 1861 but restored after the Second World War.

The first time I visited Austria was in 2009 when I went with K. to Munich. I didn't know but she told me Salzburg was relatively close to the Bavarian border and since I always wanted to visit the place where Mozart was born this was an excellent opportunity to go there. We had a really good time visiting the old town with its beautiful baroque architecture. Actually just before we crossed the bridge to go there I took this picture showing an overview of this place, including the Hohensalzburg Castle. And of course we didn't leave Salzburg before visiting the birth house of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
