Salzburg, Austria

Although I was only in Salzburg for about four hours, I had such a memorable time. I loved everything about Salzburg and all of the history and culture it had to offer. With only a few hours, I had time to walk around Salzburg and participate in The Sound of Music tour. The Sound of Music is one of the main things Salzburg is known for, as most of the movie was filmed in Salzburg. Even if you aren’t a huge Sound of Music movie fan, if you’re visiting Salzburg, this tour is a must! I learned so much about the real story of the Von Trapp family, the filming of the movie, and throughout the tour I saw more parts of Austria, which to me was one of the best parts!

Austria is a beautiful country I hope to visit again sometime soon. Here are some of my favorite photos from Salzburg, Austria.

24 Hours in Budapest, Hungary

Last weekend I went on a whirlwind adventure traveling to Hungary and Austria. I was able to spend about 24 hours in Budapest so I took advantage of every moment. Budapest was one of the most magical cities I’ve been to. I was in awe of the stunning architecture throughout the city, especially the Fisherman’s Bastion. A day wasn’t nearly enough time, but since Budapest is easily walkable, I was able to pack a lot into one day.

A few things I suggest seeing in Budapest:

Fisherman’s Bastion, I recommend walking to the top. The view of Budapest along the walk is incredible!
Walk across the Chain Bridge.
Grab a cup of coffee at Espresso Embassy.
See the interior of the New York Cafe.
