Salzburg, Austria: city of, uh, whatshisface... oh yeah, Mozart

More importantly, it's the city of:
=>6 Euro coffees filled with booze and whipped cream
=>endless pastries
=>a funicular up a big mountain to a fortress shrouded in fog
=>massive natural rock walls cuddling the old city up against the river
=>many well-behaved dogs and horses pulling carriages, but shockingly little poop on the streets
=>lots of souvenirs that say Mozart
=>smells of woodsmoke, roasted nuts, hot mulled wine and punch, sausages, cigarettes
=>many layers of sounds on many levels: church bells from above, loudspeakers playing american pop in the street stalls, rock band sound tests (in preparation for New Year's Eve), Mozart piped everywhere, and constant streams of talk in several languages
