After touring Schloss Hellbrunn, we drove to nearby Salzburg and parked
close to downtown. Since we were famished, we decided to look for a nearby
restaurant while strolling through Residenzplatz, a main square in Salzburg’s old town.
After reviewing the Yelp reviews, we settled on the well-rated Zwettler's restaurant. Inna ordered the "Chicken Wiener Schnitzel," while I selected the Austrian specialty of "Grilled Potatoes and Beef."
Since it was boiling, I also enjoyed the cold 0.5-liter Karl Kaiser beer (which Alex and Inna also tried and liked). Inna liked the beer so much that she ordered a 0.5-liter glass for herself!

Alex had the Grilled Meat (Grillteller) entree.
After lunch, we visited the famous "Dom zu Salzburg" cathedral. While built in only 14 years, it looked magnificent inside (without the painted glass windows reminiscent of most Italian Duomos). On
the outside, however, it is plain and uninviting.
While Inna and Alex enjoyed iced coffee and delicious cakes at Café Tomaselli, I visited Mozart's birthplace (Geburtshaus). It had little to display, except for some knick-knacks, original scores,
letters, and musical instruments.
I was intrigued by the large and narrow piano/harpsichord on display. By then, we were too hot and exhausted to explore more of Salzburg.
On returning to Dorfgastein, I stopped by the Palfner Tankstelle to fill the
Nissan Qashqai. It cost me $58.57 for 40 liters of 95-octane supreme
gasoline (1.15 euros per liter).
Returning to our rented room in Dorfgastein, we enjoyed the highly rated
baths nearby.
