We got to Salzburg around 10 and had no trouble getting in to our B&B. We ended up having the apartment to ourselves for the entire 3 nights, which was a real score as we were able to do laundry, make hot meals, and roam around in our underwear (the apartment was on the 5th floor and it was HOT!). That first day we were tired from having gotten up at 6 and Janet was feeling under the weather, so we decided to stay at the apartment and read/surf the net for ideas of what to do in Salzburg. Luckily we came across the idea of getting a Salzburg Card 36€ for entry into all the top museums and attractions and free use of all public transport. What a deal! Over there following two days we toured like mad: the Museum of Natural History, Museum of Modern art (including an elevator ride through a mountain), Salzberg Castle, funicular ride, boat ride on the Salzach, cable car ride up a very high mountain 2 k straight up, Hellsbrunn Place and Trick Fountains, Stiegl brewery tour with free beer and gift, and a tour of Mozart's home. We did not see everything but we did our level best.
