On Friday afternoon we walked into town (only about a 10-15 minute walk from the Schloss Lebenberg) and had a quick wander around.
At around 4pm it seems to be the norm for Kitzbuhel to have a drink and people-watch in the Main Street of the medieval old-town.
We chose a busy, mainstream cafe - mostly because they had a coffee and cake deal for €4.90 (plum, cherry or berry - I chose cherry).
Here is the view of the street from the outdoor table at the cafe.
Kitzbuhel is a wealthy town and due to the winter ski season visitors there are a lot of prestige shops; Cartier, Moncler, boutiques... The local Austrian women favour quite ostentatious outfits with prints and gold jackets and there is a bit of plastic surgery around. But also, classic preppy outfits: shirts, pearls and week-cut trousers. King Charles spaniels are the small dog of choice and I have molested one or two.
Opposite is this building - apparently built in 1360 although it appears almost too well-maintained for that to be true.
And we passed this pretty building further down the street on the way back to the Schloss.
