THE BEST TIPS & SECRET HOTSPOTS IN THE CITY OF MOZART

Salzburg is one of my favourite cities in Austria. Many people associate Salzburg with Mozart or with the Salzburg Festival, but the city has much more to offer than the commonly known sights! Salzburg is always worthwhile for a short city break: many spots are within walking distance. And if you have a longing for nature, the surrounding area is also the perfect place for you.

The most beautiful sights in Salzburg

In Salzburg’s old town you can find the most important locations within walking distance! From the Hohensalzburg Fortress or the Mönchsberg you have the perfect overview. And in the small alleys between the Domquartier and the banks of the Salzach river you can enjoy the dreamy old town with its historic buildings!
