What people say

Christina Dubin
"Welcome to Salzburg! It is incredibly old and beautiful, with settlements dating back to 15 BC. The old town is partially protected by high stone walls and a medieval fortress that looms high above the city. It’s clear that the city was originally designed to keep outsiders out, but today the Salzburg’s historic district is full of warmth… and music. In fact music is probably Salzburg’s most notable draw because not only is it the home of Mozart, but the Sound of Music was famously filmed at locations throughout the city. Whether it’s advertisements promoting classical concerts or Mozart’s face painted on artisanal chocolates, musical touches are everywhere throughout the city. "
"If you're a fan of classical music or the Sound of Music, Salzburg is a top destination for you when in Austria! Public transportation can be taken from Vienna to Salzburg and back, but the long distance each way can make this tough to do alone. It's recommended to do a small group tour, like that linked below, to ease travel logistics and to get the most of your one day in the Salzburg area."
"Perhaps the most beautiful city in Austria and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Europe While in Vienna, you cannot miss the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. 📍Distance: 312km 👣How to get there: it is possible to arrive both by bus, train and car, but the best option is to take a direct train from Vienna Central Station. 🎟️Ticket cost: starting from 30€.

If you're looking for a city escape to live your European Summer dream, you've come to the right place! This is my 100% honest opinion of my 10 favorite European cities to visit in Summer. I see lots and lots of guides out there suggesting Paris (hello, has someone heard of the Olympic Games taking place?), Madrid (if you love 45° weather I guess) or Lisbon (great choice if you want to be 1 or 100 000 tourists). While these are all great destinations year-round, I don't think Summer is the right season to visit them. Personally, I'd go there in Spring or Autumn, not during the high season. Full disclosure, this is a no Greece, no Italy guide. You'll only find cities that I love, and I think are worth going to discover if you're looking for a short city-escape this Summer.
