Salzburg is a fairytale town untouched by time. Sometimes unfairly overlooked in favour of its more famous sister city, Vienna, Salzburg holds its own as a holiday destination packed with history, cuisine and natural beauty. Holidays to Salzburg mean art, culture and unforgettable sights.
Salzburg is the quintessential European city, a pristine example of proud imperial architecture and a charming old town full of winding narrow streets. Visit the home of Mozart and see the beautiful baroque architecture of that old town, listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Atop the Festungsberg hill, overlooking the city, is the storybook Salzburg Palace. Take the cable car up the hill and explore the age-old stronghold. Its striking white exterior nestles courtyards, walls and places to take in stunning city vistas as well as its manicured gardens. An absolute must-see during your cheap city break to Salzburg.
A walk through the city takes you past countless sights including proud architectural feats like Salzburg Cathedral, Mozartplatz Square and St Peter’s Abbey that blends Romanesque and Renaissance styles to stunning effect. And if you’re in the mood for some shopping, head to The Getreidegasse shopping mile full of international brands, small boutiques, local wares, traditional confectioners and more. Take in the famous views from Mirabell Gardens and celebrate The Sound of Music on Do-Re-Mi Bridge.
Go beyond the historic centre of Salzburg to explore panoramic nature of Gaisberg Mountain, too. Great for hiking other outdoor activities! But if you’d rather take it easy and stay local, there are plenty of things to see and do during your Salzburg holidays in the city proper. Highly walkable and with a strong public transport network, it’s easy to get around too. Great for a romantic couples’ break, a group trip or just a change of scenery.
