Schloss Hellbrunn
Schloss Hellbrunn is a palace in Salzburg that was built in the 17th century. It’s a “Lustschloss”, a “pleasure palace” and as much as this sounds like the rich organised their orgy parties there, officially it was where the rich organised their fancy parties (an orgy may or may not be included). This one was built by an archbishop as a “day villa”, where he could chill during the day before returning to the city in the evening. So imagine having a day house that was just for playing with your friends. And imagine it looking like this.

Hohensalzburg Castle
The Salzburg Castle, just like many other fortresses across Europe has a strategic position on top of a hill. In medieval times this used to be for protection. And nowadays it usually means that the castle offers the best view of the city!
