www.TravelsWithSheila.com Yes. As Mel Brook's once said, "It's good to be King." But, if you can't be King, what's wrong with being a Prince in the Seventeenth Century? Obviously nothing as proved by Hellbrunn Palace built as a summer pleasure palace by Salzburg's Prince Archbishop Markus Sittikus von Hohenems. After a fun tour of the trick fountains (Wasserspiele), Steve and I entered the Palace to tour the ornate rooms using an audio headset included in the entrance price of 10.50 Euro per adult. Only an Archbishop was allowed to have the best and rarest of everything (including the ugliest dwarf); epitomized by his collections and separated into separate rooms, e.g., Flora, fish, curious oddities, etc.  Only 10 actual rooms are open to the public but what...a...place!
