Sights
Salzburg's trophy sights huddle in the pedestrianised Altstadt, which straddles both banks
of the Salzach River but centres largely on the left bank. Here the tangled lanes are made
for a serendipitous wander, leading to hidden courtyards and medieval squares framed by
burgher houses and baroque fountains.
Many places close slightly earlier in winter and open longer - usually an hour or two -
during the Salzburg Festival.
SALZBURG IN…
Two Days
Get up early to see Mozarts Geburtshaus ( Click here ) and boutique-dotted Getreidegasse before the crowds
arrive. Take in the baroque grandeur of Residenzplatz ( Click here ) and the stately prince-archbishop's palace,
Residenz ( Click here ). Coffee and cake in the decadent surrounds of Café Tomaselli ( Click here ) fuels an after-
noon absorbing history at the hands-on Salzburg Museum or monastic heritage at Stiftskirche St Peter ( Click
here ). Toast your first day with homebrews and banter in the beer garden at Augustiner Bräustübl ( Click here ) .
Begin day two with postcard views from the ramparts of 900-year-old Festung Hohensalzburg , or absorbing
cutting-edge art at Museum der Moderne ( Click here ) . Have lunch at M32 ( Click here ) or bag goodies at the
Grünmarkt ( Click here ) for a picnic in the sculpture-strewn gardens of Schloss Mirabell ( Click here ). Cham-
ber music in the palace's sublime Marble Hall or enchanting puppetry at Salzburger Marionettentheater
( Click here ) rounds out the day nicely.
Four Days
With another couple of days to explore, you can join a Mozart or Sound of Music tour . Hire a bike to pedal
along the Salzach's villa-studded banks to summer palace Schloss Hellbrunn ( Click here ) and its trick foun-
tains. Dine in old-world Austrian style at Alter Fuchs ( Click here ) before testing the right-bank nightlife .
The fun-packed salt mines of Hallein ( Click here ) and the Goliath of ice caves, Eisriesenwelt ( Click here ) in
Werfen, both make terrific day trips for day four. Or grab your walking boots or skis to head up to Salzburg's
twin peaks: Untersberg ( Click here ) and Gaisberg ( Click here ).
