This open air museum is also well worth a day or half day, depending on weather.

There is a lot to do and see around Salzburg. Great area.

I was there several years ago. Three things I remember was Mozart's birthplace, the Van Trapp house (Sound of Music) and climbing up the hill to the salt castle (hence the name Salzburg).
