Salzburg - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?
The thing you will see most often are Mozart Balls (Mozart Kugeln) - only buy the massed produced ones in a local Austrian grocery store (not the one on Rudolfskai).My favorite handmade Mozart Balls are from Cafe Habakukon Linzergasse, they are 1 EUR each. Do not waste your money on the Cafe Furst ones, which are the most advertised "handmade" ones. Towards the end of November and through December a Christmas Market will open in Salzburg, definitely shop here for cute things. Smokers, or incense burners, are a unique gift item. - Mar 2011
