What to see in Salzburg
Must-sees
Salzburg fits into a stroll: Mozart’s birthplace on Getreidegasse, the Baroque cathedral, the Residenz and the market square, with Hohensalzburg Fortress above, reached by funicular. Across the river are the Mirabell gardens, one of the settings of The Sound of Music.
Free tours and guided visits
There are guided walks of the old town and Sound of Music tours. Salzburg is also the base for trips to Hallstatt and the Salzkammergut lakes, the Eagle’s Nest and the salt mines.
How long to spend
One day is enough for the old town and the fortress. With two or three there is time for Hallstatt, the lakes or Hellbrunn Palace.
Where to stay
The old town is the prettiest and most expensive area. The Neustadt, by Mirabell, is five minutes away on foot and a little cheaper.
