Visit Altstadt Salzburg
Popular places to visit
Mirabell Palace
Conceived as a palace for a mistress, the Mirabell Palace remains a splendid setting for love matches, its elegant lawns often decked with brides and grooms.
Salzburg Cathedral
The spiritual heart of Catholic Salzburg has had its fair share of turbulence—and of genius—throughout its 1200-year history.
Fortress Hohensalzburg
The medieval fortress that stepped out of the fairy-tale and onto one of Salzburg's brooding forested mountains.
Mozart's Birthplace
Learn about the life, family and work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart via exhibitions in the rooms of the house where he was born.
Getreidegasse
Salzburg's prettiest street is a long line of top-class shops and boutiques with old-time signs which thread together a fascinating history.
Mozartplatz Square
Mozart was born and grew up a stone's throw from the square that bears his name, which now has a memorial to the maestro as its centrepiece.
