Salzburg

Don’t Miss

As Mozart’s home city, Salzburg’s classical music shows are regular and popular; to save some euros try an amateur production. A cable car ride up Untersberg, Salzburg’s tallest mountain, will reveal some incredible Alpine views.

Retail Therapy

Visit the Grünmarkt in front of the Kollengienkirche for sweets, cheeses, breads and pastries to take home, or just eat them there and then. Walk the famous Getreidegasse but take your camera for the unique iron signs adorning every store façade on the narrow shopping street.

Eat and Drink

Enjoy a Mozartkugel, a dark chocolate-coated treat with a nougat and marzipan inside. The most original and best are found in the Konditorei Fürst in Alter Markt Square. While you’re there enjoy a few beers, they’re served in litre steins.

Hidden Gem

Explore the secret passageways, rooms and mysterious dungeons in the depths of the Hohensalzburg Fortress. Areas not usually open to tourists can be explored on special request; but just don’t get left behind in the torture chamber.
