UNESCO World Heritage Site

A trip to Salzburg is incomplete without a visit to Mirabell Palace and Gardens, which was built in 1606 by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich for his sweetheart Salome Alt. Along with the palace, the gardens are a part of the Historic Centre of the City of Salzburg UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Palace has a glorious history. Today, the complex is home to several municipal offices as well as those of the mayor of Salzburg. Located in the heart of the city, the Gardens were redesigned under archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun in 1690.
The Marble Hall is widely considered one of the “most beautiful wedding halls in the world”. These days, it regularly organizes weddings, conferences, and awards ceremonies.
The Mirabell Gardens consist of several structures, including the Pegasus Fountain, Grand Fountain, Hedge Theater, Dwarf Garden, Rose Garden, and Orangery. Visitors can enjoy the boxwood layouts, mythology-themed statues, and the Sylvan Theater designed between 1704 and 1718. One interesting fact about the gardens is that several important scenes in the acclaimed movie “The Sound of Music” were shot there.

Please note – The Mirabell Gardens are free to visit, and the palace is not open to the public.

Penang Island’s George Town is probably the most vibrant city of Malayisa. A trip to Malaysia is incomplete without a visit to George Town. This capital city is home to hundreds of cute cafes, bars and restaurants. Famous for its unique street food, George Town has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And this is where you will find a lot of graffiti and murals, which lure thousands of travelers to this city. And to be honest, I explored the city randomly. Beer and street food made the trip memorable. Have you been to this part of Malaysia ?
