#5 Salt Mines 🧂
Shared by Morgan Nguyen – 24 ❤️
“We put on white coveralls, slid down wooden rails, and descended into the deep history of Austria’s salt-rich past. Educational? Yes. Hilarious? Also yes. One of us definitely screamed on the slide. It wasn’t who you’d expect.”
#4 Mountains ⛰️
Shared by Amelia Brooks – 29 ❤️
“We ventured farther out and let the Alps rise up around us — no itinerary, no rush, just trail after trail of epic silence. It was grounding. It was emotional. It was the high we’d been chasing, without even realizing it.”
#3 Paragliding 🪂
Shared by Nicole Winter – 88 ❤️
“There are high moments, and then there’s this. We launched from a nearby Alpine peak, and suddenly we were soaring — the lakes, towns, and mountains below unfolding like a living painting. Fear gave way to awe. And we were never the same.”
#2 Apple Strudel 🥧
Shared by Alexa Meyer – 95 ❤️
“We took a break at a tiny cafĂ© and ordered what turned out to be the most transcendent apple strudel of our lives. Warm, spiced, flaky… topped with fresh cream and a dusting of sugar that glowed in the sunlight. It was over too soon — but never forgotten.”
#1 Salzburg Symphony 🎼
Shared by Amelia Brooks – 149 ❤️
“Ahhh, Salzburg — where every view looks like it was painted by someone with an excellent ear for music and a flair for drama. The hills? Absolutely alive. And so were we, floating somewhere between fairytale and adrenaline rush. Salzburg gave us a symphony of stillness, strength, and soaring moments — A city where the past sings, the mountains hum, and you finally hear yourself again. From the moment we stepped off the train, it felt like the opening scene of a musical — Mozart’s hometown has a rhythm you can feel. Church bells, horse-drawn carriages, and distant echoes of violins. It wasn’t just a place. It was a score.”
