Salzburg

Sightseeing Overview

For a relatively small city, Salzburg has an astonishing number of interesting buildings, monuments, sights and attractions. The most prominent architectural style in the Old Town is the baroque, although there are many medieval, rococo and more modern buildings too.

Among the essential places to visit are the magnificent cathedral, the castle high above the city, the Festival Halls, Mozart's Birthplace in the lovely Getreidegasse Lane, St Peter's Abbey and Monastery and the old residence of the Salzburg prince archbishops.
