My sister, my niece, my daughter and I recently went to Europe. Our first stop was Salzberg. We picked this hotel because the day we checked out we had to catch a train to Venice. This hotel is only a few blocks from the station, so we were able to walk there with our luggage. It is a beautiful hotel. Very modern. We had two rooms, and they were both very clean. They serve a fantastic breakfast! One of the best I have seen. Everything was so fresh. Great scrambled eggs, yogurt, breads, cereals, meats, etc.
It is a bit of hike to walk the historic center of the city, but possible. We did take a Sound of Music Tour with Bob's Tours http://www.bobstours.com/som. It was a small van that sat eight. There is another tour company that uses large buses. I am so glad that we chose the small van. We had a fantastic driver. In our van, it happened to be all mothers and daughters - the first time our driver has had that! By going in the small van, our driver was able to drive us up into the countryside - something the big bus can't do. We stopped at an alpine slide where my niece and daughter went on. We stopped at a little coffee shop overlooking a beautiful lake and we all had a dessert. The trip was very memorable. From Salzburg, we took a train to Venice. It was so beautiful going through all the Vineyards. A good option to flying. Stayed at the Ca San Rocco.
