I loved Salzburg. I remember going to the Hellbrunn Palace and that was pretty cool because it had trick fountains. I love the entire country of Austria, beautiful place.

I agree! It's very beautiful and very historic!

The organ sounds ominous. Wowza.

The concert was great!

OMG I laughed so hard when you busted out It's Tricky but you missed the opportunity to sing "Here Comes the Rain Again" which is one of my favorite songs. Truly disappointed you didn't put the camera up to the eye holes in that door. Very smart not to put your eyes to it because you never know what could be lurking...The cemetery was gorgeous! I would spend hours in a place like that. I love religious iconography and visiting churches is one of my favorite things to do as a tourist. It's very cool you got the experience the organ concert.

HAHAHA Alice, the waterwheel was making the perfect beat! I wasn't going anywhere near the eyeholes, I did see people inside so I wasn't risking it... The cemetery was surprisingly very peaceful and well taken care of. The organ concert was a treat! Thank you for watching 😁

I’m catching up with your travel videos 😬. Another very beautiful country! I would love it. Pity the weather was not so good while you were there. I did find the cemetery beautiful and interesting!

Thank you for watching! It's a beautiful place.

April weather in Germany and the whole region is traditionally very versatile and it's typically changing a lot, often several times on the day. We say "Der April macht was er will" (April does what he wants to do). So basically you got the most perfect April weather possible with rain, sun, snow and hail changing several times during the day.

We have a different idea of 'perfect weather', Ulrich 😁 It was interesting to see though!

Thanks for creating and sharing yet another nice video. Take care, Ben. Cheers!🍻🙏

You are right Carol, I should 🤣

Hey Ben, I don't regret you going to Austria! This was so good. I love your rule about pushing on a door to see if it opens. Now, you need to add to that rule that if a door has eye holes, you must look through them. LOL. I enjoyed your made-up facts, "Rappin' with Ben" and the fact that you crashed a concert and made a "disturbance." You are the perfect person to have a travel vlog because everywhere you go, you get up to something. BTW, you must not be a fan of musicals, but I do recommend The Sound of Music. It's a good one. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

Thank you, as always Matthew! HAHA I will not be adding a new rule to look through eye holes, especially in a cemetery! I guess I got to see a free concert, but the concert did ruin my audio tour so it's fair 🤣 I should really watch The Sound of Music 😁 Thanks again!

Austria is incredible. It is suppose to be cold there in Fall/Winter. the Christmas Markets we insane.

I agree, Austria is beautiful! Definitely very cold in the winter but the Christmas Market seems to be a must visit!

kudos to the Chinese speaking snippet! nitpicking: should be 下雨 instead of 下雪 (or was it actually snowing there). I travelled a pretty similar route one week ahead of you (plus Berlin in the beginning and Vienna at the end). Tbh I was a bit "bored" at the end, buildings/cathedrals/palaces looked similar, couldn't really tell if I'm in Berlin or Vienna, so I'm very curious abt your thoughts on these cities as an European. New vid idea?😉

Thank you, Hyeo! It was snowing a little bit so I said 下雪了 😁 I totally agree with you, once you see 1 cathedral, you don't need to see 10 more 🤣 Many cities in Europe are very similar, the cities you mentioned are very similar.

You should have come to cyprus its boiling here 😊

Hi Ben, I don't know if you follow the You Tuber Ben Robson but he is another Travel Creator. He has a video about Salzburg Austria and also he took a day trip to Hallstatt Austria which was a very beautiful place. They have buses that you can catch from Salzburg which take you to Hallstatt one day, round trip.

It's impossible to compare China with Austria. I don't think one is better, they are just different.

Well, Ben ! Maybe 51 times !

Great trip, again! BUT, go back, look in those 2 eyeholes in the doorway, and tell us what you saw😵‍💫. I found this online: “”Most Catholics are familiar with the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, commemorating the three Magi’s visit to the infant Jesus. This day, celebrated on January 6th is also known as the Three Kings Day, Little Christmas or, Twelfth Night. However, some Catholics may not be familiar with the tradition of “chalking the doors” in celebration of this day. For centuries, the faithful have marked the entrance to their homes with a symbol of faith, asking that Jesus Christ bless all who live within the home. The message is as follows, [the first two digits of the year] + C + M + B + [the last two digits of the year]”. The “C”, “M”, and “B” stand for the names of the three Magi - Caspar, Malchior & Balthazar, and the “+” represents the cross. For example, in 2023 people will mark “20 + C + M + B + 23” in chalk above their front door. The message also abbreviates the Latin phrase, Christus Mansionem Benedicat, meaning “May Christ bless the house.” For centuries this tradition has been carried out by our brothers and sisters in faith around the world. Any color chalk used can be used. This is a wonderful tradition to adopt to show all who visit your home that your faith is strong as you enter the New Year!””

Too bad even Salzburg could not escape the curse of graffiti. It's comforting to know that there are countries with zero tolerance for graffiti. Austria should have been one of them.
