As mentioned here and here, we flew into Munich from Helsinki on the 25th of Feb and took a regional train to Salzburg. We stayed two nights at the 4* Crown Plaza - The Pitter at a rate of USD 99/nite booked through Priceline's Name Your Own Price. What's more? We were upgraded to a Junior Suite. I checked the rate online and a Junior Suite is Euros 135/nite. That's like a discount of USD 100/nite. Wah! D@mn happy lor!
Salzburg is such a pretty city, and it's listing on UNESCO's World Heritage Site is indeed worthy.
Read up more on theis beautiful city here.
We were very lucky as the weather was good with clear blue skies...
What did we do here?
Sight-see. Eat. Drink.
Here are some of my photos...
