Visit the magic Austrian town at Christmas
Salzburg is a city of music, as it’s the hometown (родной город) of Mozart—not to mention The Sound of Music‘s (Зальцбург – место действия мюзикла “Звуки музыки”) Von Trapp family. Expect to hear lots of the unique Austrian folk tradition of Advent Singing. Visit the “Advent Magic” of Hellbrunn Palace (дворец Хелльбрунн), where the courtyard is transformed with 10,000 red Christmas balls and lights strewn among the fountains and grottoes (фонтаны и гроты). For the scarier side of the season, be on the lookout for the folk figures of Krampus and Perchten (шествия Крампусов и Перхтов), who are said to frighten away the dark spirits of winter. Not your thing? Watch one of the best Christmas movies for kids with the whole family.
