I stopped in Salzburg for about three hours on my way to Munich from Vienna. I must have been carrying some bad omen with me as I went around - bad weather left Vienna along with me. Thankfully for me, Salzburg is not too far from Vienna - so its difficult for nature to conspire against me to have warm and sunny weather in Vienna, yet cold and damp in Salzburg without defying its own laws and probability. The Alps could have played foul, perhaps, but they backed out of any such misadventure against me.

Salzburg is a very small calm serene place, the kind that the moment you see, you say to yourself, "If there is paradise on Earth, it is". I maybe quoting a Mughal emperor on a different place, but I am sure he would say the same he saw Salzburg as well. Quite frankly, there is not much to the town center other than coffee shops and some buildings connected to Mozart. But you don't go to Salzburg to see the buildings; you go to enjoy the setting.

The entire experience is very healing - if there weren't a thing like naturopathy, Salzburg would have forced people to invent it. My dream work day: sitting outside a Salzburg cafe working. For evening exercise, throw in a run to Hohensalzburg fortress. I promise, I won't ask for anything more in life!
