Getreidegasse @ Salzburg, Austria

Getreidegasse (also known as Grain Lane) is a busy shopping street in the Old-Town section of Salzburg. There is a house at no. 9 Getreidegasse where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born and he lived until the age of 17. The narrow lane and the unique signboard will make you feel that you are in Christmas town. This place will look superb if its snow.


Famous shopping street Getreidegasse in Salzburg.

Very unique signboards. You will have Christmas feel if you come here during Christmas with heavy snow.

Beautiful looking church beside a fortress.

Seafood restaurant beside the Mozart museum.

So much prepared fruits in the convenience store.

Weisses Brauhaus @ Munich, Germany

This is one of the most traditional pubs in Munich. The environment is as authentic as it was as the waiter and waitress dress in dirndls and lederhosen. They serve Schneider Weisse which is the oldest weissbier (wheat beer) brewery in Bavaria.

Taste:7/10(Moderate. The meat in the breaded veal spleen sausage is soft and juicy).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. The veal spleen sausage breaded with potato salad price at EUR8.90 and the beer at EUR3.80).
