So on Sunday the 3rd I took the train down to Austria from Rotterdam. In 15 hours I travelled to the southern Austrian province of Carinthia. On my way, I took a break in Munich and in Salzburg to see those cities. While I stayed in Carinthia (for 5 days) we took two daytrips to Italy (Tolmezzo and Udine) and one to eastern Tirol (Lienz). Here's my itinerary:
The ICE arriving at Utrecht Central Station
The Dome of Cologne from the trainwindow
Passing through Stuttgart
The ICE arrived at Munich Central Station
Munich Central Station
Looking into Munich Central Station from the entrance. It was quite crowded as you can see.
Right in front of the station
Shopping street leading to the historical centre.
We're getting closer.
This one's for SimplyDan.
Huge fountains
Gate to the inner city
Bavarian style houses.
The City's characteristic cathedral towers appear behind buildings
To hang a basket of flowers outside your window is really Bavarian.
Perhaps there were so many people in town because of the World Cup... I bet that dude won't wear that "France" shirt anymore
Quite tall
One last shot of Munich before I headed back to the railway station.
Salzburg!
One thing I noticed about Austrian cities, is that there are parks in almost every city, and that the cities are usually very clean.
Lots of buildings like this one in the centre
Not every European city has impressive churches. I find this one a bit 'lowkey'.
Rush hour in Salzburg
Random streets between the railway station and the city centre (Yes, the station is not in the city centre in Salzburg. It's about a 20 min walk from the station to the centre).
A map of the area where I stayed. Encircled are the towns I visited.
Starting with Lienz, in the Austrian province of East Tirol:
Square and park in the city centre
Courtyard of the building above.
One of those sidewalks I talked about in the other thread: store fronts on one side, and seperated from the actual streets by 'stillts'.
Another square, seperated from the other square shown earlier just by one street (the one in the picture above)
Austrian girls ...
Last shot of Lienz. By now we've left the city centre.
More pics of Spittal an der Drau, Tolmezzo and Udine will follow later (prob. tomorrow).
