Short Trip to Salzburg and Hallstatt Austria

Are you a huge fanatic of Sound of Music? Then, Salzburg Austria is your best destination. I’m a great fanatic of the 1950’s musical, lead by Von Trapp Family Singer. From Prague, I packed my backpack and head to Salzburg. The cheapest way to get to Salzburg is via Munich, book a ticket to flixbus, and present the QR code to the bus driver. I booked my 1 night accomodation at Hotel Vuona Vita via booking.com for 69 euros – This is the cheapest I got which is good for 2 persons. I suggest to book it ahead so it won’t cost you much.

It’s easy to get around Salzburg, you can take the bus to get to the Mirabelle Garden. You must not miss this lovely place!

4 Days, 3 Nights Rome, Italy DIY Itinerary

DIY Itineraries/Travel Stories/Travel Tips

The easiest way to get around Rome is by walking. Everything is worth seeing, each tourist location is within reach. Just beware of pickpockets especially in the metro and bus. Avoid bus 64 as much as possible. If you are planning to visit Colloseum, beware of those men dress in Gladiator. They will say picture taking is free, but after taking picture, they will ask for 10 Euro! Here is the itinerary I prepared for my visit. However, I failed to follow it, because when I get there, I just keep on walking. It’s fun to walk because there so many people walking by. Trevi fountain is under construction but it’s still worth visiting. Italian men are charming indeed 🙂 Accommodation: Walter Rooms Guest House Via Carlo Alberto 24, Central Station, 00185 Rome, Italy How to get to guest house from the Airport Take FM1 Link, get off at Ostiense Station (LINE B), take metro toward Termini, and transfer to LINE A, get off at Vitorio. Or. Take Fm1 towards Termini, take bus 105 towards Stazio Grotte Celoni, 2 stops, get off at Piazza Vittorio Emmanuelle, or take Metro A and get off at Vitorio €8 Between 08:00 […]
