In the city there’s plenty to see: Fortress Hohensalzburg, Mirabell garden, Getreidegasse, cathedral and churches, especially the Franciscan Church (please take the back entrance), Mozart’s birthplace, museums, especially in rainy weather, the house of nature is highly recommended...
These sights are extensively described in any city guide or you will find plenty of information on the Internet.
Especially we would like to recommend a walk on the Mönchsberg and the trick fountains in Hellbrunn. For professional guided tours through our beautiful city of Salzburg, please contact the Salzburg tourist guides.
A walk on the Mönchsberg
You can either take the fortress to the castle and start the tour after the fortress tour, or you can climb the steps of the small “Festspielhaus” (after the “Festspielhaus” turn right) …
Treat yourself to a coffee break in a majestic setting. A little later, at the foot of the Mönchsberg, you pass the Augustinerbräu after the descent, where a fresh beer and a snack await you. From there it is also not far to the Hotel Zur Post (about 15 minutes on foot).
