Day 5

Nestled in the foothills of the Eastern Alps, Salzburg, Austria, exudes a timeless charm that combines Baroque splendor, musical heritage, and breathtaking natural beauty. The city is famously known as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the world's greatest composers. Visitors can immerse themselves in the life and works of Mozart by visiting his birthplace, now a museum, on Getreidegasse, a picturesque street lined with wrought-iron signs and colorful facades. Salzburg's Altstadt, or Old Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, characterized by its stunning Baroque architecture, including the magnificent Salzburg Cathedral and the Residenz Palace, both of which tell the tale of the city's rich history as a powerful ecclesiastical state.

For those enchanted by the magic of cinema, Salzburg offers a unique connection to the beloved musical "The Sound of Music." Fans can relive iconic scenes by visiting locations such as Mirabell Gardens, where the "Do-Re-Mi" song was famously filmed, and the Leopoldskron Palace, which served as the backdrop for the Von Trapp family home. Beyond its film legacy, the city is renowned for its classical music scene. The annual Salzburg Festival, held each summer, draws music enthusiasts from around the world to experience a series of opera, concert, and drama performances, bringing Mozart's compositions to life in the very city that shaped him.

Salzburg is also a gateway to the natural wonders of the Austrian Alps. Just a short distance from the city, travelers can explore the stunning Salzkammergut region, with its crystal-clear lakes and towering mountains that provide opportunities for hiking, cycling, and skiing. The imposing Hohensalzburg Fortress, one of the largest fully preserved castles in Europe, offers panoramic views of the city and surrounding landscapes. A walk up to this hilltop fortress is a journey through centuries of history, with exhibits showcasing medieval weaponry, historical artifacts, and the princely apartments of the archbishops who once ruled Salzburg.

A fun fact about Salzburg is its unique culinary scene, which is heavily influenced by both Austrian and Bavarian traditions. The city is famous for its traditional sweet treats, such as the "Mozartkugel," a chocolate and marzipan confection named in honor of Mozart. Another local delicacy, the "Salzburger Nockerl," is a light, fluffy dessert meant to resemble the snow-capped mountains surrounding the city. Whether it's savoring these delights in a traditional café or dining in a centuries-old inn, Salzburg offers a feast for the senses that combines its cultural, musical, and natural heritage into one unforgettable experience.

Day 8

Munich is known for its architecture, fine culture, the annual Oktoberfest beer celebration, its vibrant cultural scene and its museums. But there is much more to Munich than Oktoberfest! Olympics enthusiasts can marvel over Munich Olympic Stadium, the site of the 1972 Summer Olympics and now a park. Visitors may tour important areas such as the swim hall, stadium and view a poignent memorial to the Israeli athletes who perished during the Games. There is also a "Walk of Stars" around the Olympic Lake with handprints from various musicians who have played the stadium, and a Rock museum at the top of Olympic Tower. If you have an urge to go surfing, Munich has you covered. The manmade Eisbach (German for "ice brook") is a small river that flows through the park known as the Englischer Garten, and contains a wave that surfing enthusiasts may practice their skills on.

For traditional Bavarian beauty, don't miss out on Neuschwanstein Castle, one of the most visited castles in Germany. The castle is located in Bavaria, near the town of Fussen. It was built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, also known as the “Fairytale King”.

Christmastime in Munich is nothing short of magical, and each market in the city has something unique to offer whether it is the traditional Neuhauser Strasse market at Marienplatz, the rackus party atmosphere at Tollwood to the charmingly quirky vibe at Schwabing. Nothing will get you in the spirit of the season like sipping a warming cup of Glühwein as you browse the multiple stalls of artisan crafts and traditional German food.
