What to see in Salzburg

1. Festung Hohensalzburg
   Perched on its rock above the old town, this is one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe, and you can spot it from almost anywhere in Salzburg.
2. Mozarts Geburtshaus
   Mozart was born in this apartment on the Getreidegasse in 1756 and grew up here until the age of 17.
3. Mirabellgarten
   This Baroque garden, with its neatly laid-out flowerbeds, gives one of the finest views of Hohensalzburg fortress rising above the rooftops.
4. Altstadt & Getreidegasse
   Getreidegasse is the most characteristic street in Salzburg's old town, a narrow lane lined with tall, tightly packed facades where you move at the pace of the shop windows.
5. Dom zu Salzburg
   The Dom rises above the Domplatz with its pale facade and twin towers, one of the great baroque landmarks of the old town.
6. Mönchsberg
   This wooded hill rises right above the old town and gives one of the best views of Salzburg, with rooftops, church spires, the Salzach and the Alps in the distance.
7. St. Peter Stiftskulinarium
   The restaurant is located within the grounds of St.
8. Bärenwirt
   This inn in the Mülln district has been serving guests since 1663, which makes it one of the oldest tables in Salzburg.
