Day 7 starts with a walk into Café Bazar on the river for quick breakfast and to collect tickets to our 11am concert – part of the Salzburg Whitsun Festival: Rossinissimo.

Is it sacrilegious to go to a concert at Stiftung Mozarteum without any Mozart on the programme?

Regardless, we enjoy an impressive performance of Bach, Rossini, Liszt and Schubert from David Fray, dynamic French pianist. A very pleasant interval is spent in the garden sipping champagne in the sunshine.

Over the bridge to Old Salzburg and through the Markt along the River Salzach with eis limone in hand to cool down on this 29 degree day. We continue exploring the various churches – lucking out at the Franziskanerkirche where a brass quartet and organist are rehearsing for the afternoon’s wedding.

Many people are getting about in beautiful traditional wear and one group sitting beside us appear to be in Austrogoth gear – all black traditional dress with full arm tatts. We manage to avoid most Sound of Music hype but rendezvous late afternoon at St Peter’s Abbey to pay our homage to Mozart courtesy of two of his piano sonaten played by a Russian student.

Dinner of steak, Spargl, sour kirsch cream and schnapps and a stopover finale at our favourite and local Fuxn Biergarten ends a special day in Salzburg.
