Salzburg, Austria is a unique city which has some of the best views I’ve ever seen in a city. Being surrounded by giant, snow-capped mountains definitely has its perks. The city is small enough that you can make your way around easily, and yet big enough that you won’t soon run out of things to do or see. Here are a few things that I had the pleasure of experiencing that I’m sure you will love as well!
1. Mozart’s Birthplace
Perhaps the most famous man in Salzburg was born in this house on January 27, 1756. House No. 9 Getreidegasse is sure to attract any tourist in the area. In this unique museum, you can walk through all of the original rooms where Mozart lived. This third-floor apartment will take you around an hour to walk through. When we arrived, there were a lot of no-photography signs around, so keep this in mind!
2. Fortress Hohensalzburg
3. Salzburg Cathedral
This Baroque-style cathedral was built and dedicated to Saint Rupert and Saint Vergilius. The church was founded by Saint Rupert in 774. It is considered to be the most sacred building in all of Salzburg. Here you will find no shortage of stunning features. Many think of this cathedral as the centerpiece of Salzburg. This is also the place where Mozart was christened.
4. St. Peter’s Abbey & Catacombs
This small but unique city can occupy you for several days, but if you only have a short period of time to spend there, you can still take in some of the most interesting things that the city has to offer! I was able to see all of this and more during my short 24-hour visit, so don’t let time discourage you while visiting this particular city!
Love the history and sights.
Me too! It was a fun place to visit.
Lucky you…let the ventures and adventures continue…
Le nice.
We only got to see the mountains from afar in Austria when we were in Liechtenstein. Hopefully next time we get to visit to see these beautiful sights. Thanks so much for sharing
I hope you get to visit one day! Just seeing the mountains from afar is still definitely a treat!
What a STUNNING city!!!
I loveee it!
Nice view.. 😊 Would love to visit those places in the future
Were the catacombs free to visit? Seeing under a city is also another way to experience it.
