Our City Check for Salzburg

  1. Flair

    Baroque architecture, a deep musical heritage, and stunning mountain scenery — Salzburg has serious atmosphere.

  2. Best time to visit

    Summer is beautiful, and the Advent season is seriously magical — one of the best Christmas atmospheres in Europe.

  3. Trip length

    Two days is enough to cover the old town and Hohensalzburg Fortress comfortably.

  4. Price level

    Prices are on the higher side — think Vienna or Zurich, not a budget destination.

  5. Food

    Don't leave without trying a real Mozartkugel and Salzburger Nockerl — both are absolutely worth it.

  6. Getting around

    The center is compact and best explored on foot — you really don't need a car or bus for the main sights.
