A friendly e-Mail for TourMyCountry.com

Dear Benedikt,

I would like to thank you for your excellent online guide to Vienna. I recently inherited a sum of money and plan to use it to purchase a flat in Vienna, so your guide to all the districts is particularly useful, before I go to Vienna (probably in April) to check out the city for myself.

Your site is the sort of information tourist needs. You can learn about museums and cathedrals from anyone and anywhere, but yours is the only guide I have found that "tells it as it is."

Vielen Dank!

Could you be so kind and send us contat to manufactory, which makes this products? Any person in charge, e-mail and phone no. of them?

MY ANSWER:

Hi there,

My website is not the official tourist information centre, but I can help you - the original Mozartkugel was invented by the confectionier Fürst and sold in various Cafes of Fürst in Salzburg: http://www.original-mozartkugel.com/

The term "Original Salzburger Mozartkugel" is also used by Mirabell Mozartkugel - they are cheaper, also locally made, but not the originals.

Best wishes,

Benedikt

MY ANSWER 2:

Hi XXX

No worries! Fürst is the original one - they have their traditional Cafe at Alter Markt Square in Salzburg and a few selling spots in various locations of Salzburg. You can order or contact the Cafe online through their website: http://www.original-mozartkugel.com/

The website is available in English. Best wishes,

Benedikt


QUESTION 3:

Dear Benedikt,

Thank you for your kindly help. I wrote e-mail to that Cafe Mozart. So now i´ll wait for any answer.
If everythink will go good, this month i´ll go to Salzburg. Could you give me some feed back about any cheaper hotels where i can sleep? :)

Talk to you soon,

XXX



MY ANSWER 3:

Try Hotel Amadeus or Hotel Goldene Ente - they are both very central and reasonably priced.

Best,

Benedikt
