TOP Things to do at Christmas In Salzburg Austria - Full Winter Guide

[@TravelingTramps]

Loved coming along with you on this snowy visit to Salzburg, Rachel and Wills. The snow makes a perfect setting this time of year. Love watching it from Arizona! 😁😁 We also loved seeing the "Silent Night" chapel. What could be more Christmas than that. Your really did find it this time and will watch the full video next! The food looks wonderful. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@PostcardAndAPint]

We were so lucky with the snow! It started as we touched down in Munich and didn’t really stop until we left Salzburg! It certainly made the whole trip feel really Christmassy. Thanks so much for joining us and Happy New Year. Cheers 🍻

[@RhubarbAndCod]

Oh wow! The Sound of Music steps! So cool! I loved the snow-capped everything... the market, the old town. Just gorgeous, classy looking and charming. And you got to pet a donkey in Oberndorf! Can't believe all you managed to do in that first day as well! Nicely done, and glad Wills got to his ultimate ornament shop! The baubles you picked up looked gorgeous! Next time, a longer trip! Thanks for this Rach and Wills!

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Thank you so much Susan. It was such a special trip and we did feel so Christmassy (our feet were dead though!!). It all seems so long ago now. Thanks so much for watching. Cheers 🍻

Ooorrr you guys…this was soooo lovely from start to finish and made for great Christmas Eve viewing on the big tv before Blankety Blank Christmas Special 😂 Salzburg is definitely on our list to visit before Christmas it looks magical and I need to visit that Christmas shop so badly, wow Christmas egg decorations and an egg box to put them, awesome! Loved the snow in your hair Rachel but you do need a hat my lovely 🥶 your decorations look lovely and love you have hung the medal, I have had a few beverages but I spent the whole time waving to you at the start shouting Hi Rach and Wills then blowing you kisses at the end 🤪😂🤣 Merry Christmas Guys! 🎄❤️

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Guys what I got for Christmas?????? A hat!!!! Can’t wait to test it out! Glad we’re up there with blankety blank, we feel so special!! The Christmas shop is amazing and the blown eggs are decorated so beautifully, can’t believe all three made it back to wales!!! Egg box is the way to go. Cheers for watching and happy Boxing Day 🍻

[@adzey156]

Nice old town in Saltsberg plenty too see and do . Then the train ride to another cool looking town and ice rink very Christmasy. Good video thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Merry Christmas 🎅

this video brought me sooo much joy, you both have such charming personalities, and the voice over was just fantastic!

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Thank you so much for this lovely comment, it’s made our day. We’re so glad you enjoyed our video. Salzburg is a seriously Christmassy city. Cheers 🍻

Thank you so much for watching and merry Christmas 🍻

Love the Austria Christmas Market! How could you skip the wine? Rach watch your language! We need to get ourselves some roasted chestnuts. Looks like we'd love that apple strudel. On a silent night, you have to whisper. What a sunset! And you definitely found Christmas. Proud of you Rach for going 14 hours without a sausage. So happy you got to visit your favorite store Wills!! Merry Christmas you two! Cheers! 🍻

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Cheers guys and Merry Christmas! Cheers for the message last night. Looks like you’ve had a wonderful Christmas in the snow. Salzburg is a joy and we definitely want to go back for longer next time (and not walk so far the day before!!!). The strudel was something else! The icing on the cake was definitely Oberndorf though. Truly Christmas. All the best and catch up soon. Cheers 🍻

Excellent vlog. Well done guys.

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Thank you so much for watching 🍻

[@LivingtheSilverLife]

That train was so clean and pretty sleek. What a great hotel and location. The market, Motzarts home, and palace were cool. Bill would definitely have to have the chestnuts. The Silent Night Chapel was definitely the highlight of the video for us. That little town looks like they should be able to bottle Christmas for the rest of us. The Christmas Market was just lit and decorated so beautifully. The Inn looked so cozy and delicious. I can see why he loves that store. Love that they put them in egg cartons. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Bill and DeAnna

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Ah thanks guys. The European trains are a joy to ride, both in price, cleanliness and punctuality!! We love Salzburg and really want to go back in the spring time, but it was very special at Christmas. We loved it. We agree that Oberndorf was the icing on the cake though and we’re totally amazed we got those eggs home in one piece!!! Merry Christmas and cheers 🍻

[@Chimichurriandtacos]

Been to Salzburg 2 yrs ago in the summertime. Loved it and will be back next yr, hopefully during the Christmas market period.

[@PostcardAndAPint]

We've done Salzburg in the summer too and it's equally as beautiful then. The green of the hills and mountains around is just stunning. We hope you get to enjoy it at market season this year. Cheers for watching 🍻

[@CoffeeWithPips]

I can't believe how many different Christmas Markets you visited this year, I've enjoyed all of them. Salzburg looks like a great place to visit, I really like the cobble stone streets, and the narrow streets. Reminds me of Italy! This is one of the great things about Europe, you can go country to country without having to jet halfway around the world, we want to do a full blown European Tour rather than spending all of our time in Germany.

[@PostcardAndAPint]

We certainly got around this year!! The European markets are wonderful and there are many left for us to explore!! We’d love to see a Pips does Europe video!!! Bring it on. Cheers 🍻

[@MariaThomas-z00m]

So beautiful. Great video guys

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Thank you. It’s an absolutely magical place to visit at any time of the year, but Christmas time is very special. Cheers for watching 🍻

Brilliant, just about to go hunting for last minute provisions, we ate most of our christmas eve goodies on christmas eve eve! 😂 take my like now, big screen entertainment when we return ❤

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Hahaha bad Nick and Jill!!! I’ve hidden the Pringles as we’re entertaining today!!! Hope you had a lovely Christmas Day. 🍻

[@GENerationXplorers]

@@PostcardAndAPint big learning lesson, we won’t be shopping for extra naughty Christmas Eve goodies until Christmas Eve. Yes, like minds, Pringles was one of the many similar provisions we had to restock on! 😅

[@GENerationXplorers]

Any relation to Hanz Gruber? Had to stop the telly at that point although both our hearts are going out to your blisters Rachel and all those miles you are clocking up! Lets not get started about British trains, even without the unspeakable strikers holding our country to ransom the rail system here is pants. Well done Germany and Austria (and most other places too). This is definitely Christmas. Guys you have worked so hard in this. Can guarantee when it comes to these markets opening next year these videos are going to be HUGE! Wills favourite Christmas shop? check! I do love a good sausage, they are a regular staple of our diet anyway so would love to sample more of theirs! Thats the UK! snow, ggrrrr, country to a standstill. Your naming the blisters! Lovely. Love the spar taking over Mozarts pad, at least it isnt in their colours 😅 egg box? Thats a great way to get them back to Wales! Salzburg, love it, we vacationed so close, should have visited. What a great place. another 10/10 for us. Nailed it. Although love locks on bridges? I hate em, can we see criminal damages brought against anyone that puts them on ornate bridges? Its happening everywhere! Lovely use of the medal guys, i’ll screenshot that and send it the girls at DrunkonWanderlust / Officially smashed it! Have a wonderful Christmas you marvellous pair, with any luck our paths will cross again in 2023. all our love Nick and Jill xx

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Ah bless the pair of you. We’ve enjoyed finding Christmas this year, it may become a yearly thing!! Salzburg is amazing and we’ve vowed to go back and see it for longer probably in spring time. The trains are so good over there - as much as I love train travel, you can’t relax in this country never knowing if you’re going to get there!! The eggs all made it back so egg boxes are the way to go should you ever visit!! Your medal looks amazing on the Christmas wreath! We’re going to have to start a new one next year as that one is now full!! We hope you had an amazing Christmas - happy Boxing Day. Cheers 🍻

[@GENerationXplorers]

@@PostcardAndAPint thanks so much guys, gosh you’ve really worked so hard on these videos. Just watched your Oberndorf one from yesterday and loved it! Great Christmassy instalments both of them, you definitely found Christmas. Always been worried about bringing decorations back in your hand luggage, the egg container is definitely the way to go! Pro tip! Long since given up on trains unfortunately in this country and that was long before the strikes. A pity as it would be a great convenient way for us to get to airports if they were reliable. Our country should hang its head in shame! Off to watch some Boxing Day traditions, hopefully get a video out on Jills channel from it. Have an awesome day. Lots of love ❤️

I was in Salzburg twenty days before you. I left the city on Dec 5. You made a great video! Daniel from Rio de Janeiro.

Oh wow. It’s gorgeous isn’t it. We hope you had the best time. We wished we could have stayed more than one day though. Cheers 🍻

[@BackroadExploits]

0:30 Highlight of the video 🤣🤣 Do tell, how are Chestnuts Roasted on an open fire? First time ever seeing Chestnuts offered up! Oh to be able to eat at an Inn from the 1400's! Lovely video. Merry Christmas.

[@PostcardAndAPint]

My feet were in bits!!!! 🤣🤣. We usually always go for chestnuts, we just weren’t hungry. You score the tips of them and then pop them on a roaster on the fire!! They are delicious! We had a lovely time (feet aside) glad you could join us. Hope you had a great Christmas 🍻

[@BackroadExploits]

@@PostcardAndAPint Yeah I'm thinking that would be a hard pass if my feet weren't up to it! You must've really wanted to go. Enjoyed the video for sure....

We certainly did. We were so lucky. Cheers for watching 🍻

Living downunder it's very hard to imagine it snowing anytime let alone at Xmas in the middle of Summer, (nearly the middle!!) Very enjoyable watch guys!! Such an historical place!! Have a lovely Xmas!!😊Robbie

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Thanks for watching, it’s so weird for us to imagine Christmas on the beach when it’s hot!!! Although, give it one more week and I’ll be ready for summer!! Hope you had a great Christmas Robbie - cheers 🍻

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Salzburg looks amazing!!!!! Maybe you can visit again in the Spring or Summer and show us more! Gotta love the German train system! Love love this video guys! ~Cara 😊

We throughly intend to as it’s beautiful in spring - probably won’t be this year though. Thanks so much for watching and happy new year 🍻

Hey guys, we actually watched this on Christmas eve on the big screen, just has been such a busy week we have only just had a chance to leave a comment🙈. Anyway firstly thanks so much for providing such festive cheer and absolutely fantastic Christmas viewing this year, this really was the perfect watch for Christmas eve☃️🎄🤩👏. Loved all the markets, and the snowy scenes on your way on the train out to the silent night chapel were just out of this world ☃️💒 ❤️. We felt exhausted just watching this video! Can't believe how much you crammed in in just 24 hours!😱. Even managing to get to Wills favourite Christmas shop🤩👏🎄. We can see why, right up our street, it is so lovely to revisit places that hold such fond memories and shared history for you both. Thanks so much again for sharing your search for Christmas with us this year. We can't wait to see more of your adventures in 2023! All the best, Shell and Pete☃️🎄🤩👊👍

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Ah thanks guys. We hope you had an amazing Christmas. This trip was certainly jam packed but we loved every second (apart from sore feet maybe!!). This time of year is super busy and we’re the same, so many people to catch up with! Thanks so much for watching and we too are looking forward to seeing what you guys get up to next year! Cheers 🍻

Just found your vid's while looking for information on Germany & Salzburg. Wife and I are going to be there for 20 days in December. And your videos have given us alot of things to see while there. We are only planning 1 day for Salzburg, What would you recomend to see?

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Hi, thanks so much (we have a Munich video too if you’re interested). If you’re only in Salzburg for 1 day, the Christmas markets are a must see and although we didn’t get there in this video, the fortress Hohensalzburg at the top is well worth a visit. Also, if you’re feeling Christmassy, the Silent Night Chapel (featured in this vlog plus we have a vlog just for it) is amazing. Thanks so much for watching and for the comment and welcome to the channel x

[@luciamontilla6198]

Does anyone know if I can catch a train to Salzburg from Munich on Christmas 25th? thank you!

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Not sure, but we’ll try and find out for you x

[@ShaneNixonFamily]

Utterly fabulous. If I could criticise just one thing - not enough Mozart or Family Von Trapp stuff. Well, two things. Regardless. Great stuff. I love Salzburg. I was motivated to go back to my Instagram feed to see what we did in Salzburg (pre-KZbinr days, so mostly took photos). Anyway, what a waste of time. It was all just Mozart or Family Von Trapp jokes and all the "facts" were made up. It was like I was having a laugh. So unfortunately no great insights into the magical city that is Salzburg. Thankfully we have one and half sensible people right here giving an informative and entertaining overview of Salzburg. We were there in a the winter too, but it was after Christmas so the markets had all packed up and gone unfortunately. Half the fountains and statues get covered too. We did see the Maccas and Starbucks though. Amazing that they are the original 17th Century Maccas and Starbucks. The first in Austria. I don't know if you discovered it your research but one of Mozart's first jobs was a residency playing the piano accordion at the Maccas. Then in a remarkable coincidence a century or so later Maria Von Trapp, before she was a Von Trapp or even Sister Maria, played Mozart's piano accordion for the local burgers and hoi polloi at the Starbucks. I remember the Spar under Mozart's place. I bet Mr and Mrs Mozart would have be stoked to have been above a supermarket when baby Mozart ran out of disposable nappies or baby food. The Mozart rubber duckies souvenirs were a bit weird but they also had cups with "No Kangaroos In Austria" written on them. Of course there are no kangaroos in Austria. It was, coincidentally, an ancestor of Captain Von Trapp who chased the kangaroos out of Austria in the 12th Century - Saint Andre Rieu Von Trapp. He was also known as Saint Kanga Rieu. So now we've got rid of everyone with my facts borrowed from my insta, let me say Happy Christmas Rach and Wills and have a stupendous New Year. I hope you have all he success you deserve! 🎅🎄🍷🍻🎉🥳 Now it has just gone 3am, Christmas morning, and Santa has some milk to drink and some cookies to consume before going to bed. 😂

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Cheers Shane and merry Christmas. We hope you got more than two hours sleep before the munchkins were up! Sorry for the lack of sound of music and Mozart! So much for the hills being alive, you couldn’t even see the buggers for most of the time as it was snowing that hard. We love Salzburg and have vowed to go back in the spring and do the damn sound of music tour again and stay longer!! We enjoyed your Mozart and sound of music facts though!!! The rubber duckie phase is all over Europe at present! We found a store in Amsterdam dedicated to just ducks, there were some great ones in there!! Hope you guys had a brilliant Christmas and threw afew shrimps on the barbie or whatever it is you do! Cheers and happy Boxing Day 🍻

[@ShaneNixonFamily]

@@PostcardAndAPint LOL, we did have prawns on Christmas Eve. Japanese style of course. 😂 Munchkins actually slept in and we beat them up. 😴😆 Happy New Year!!!!
