The main attraction of Salzburg is considered to be the Hohensalzburg Fortress. Built more than nine centuries ago, during the era of the ongoing struggle for power between the king and the pope, this fortress complex is the largest of its kind in Europe. Over the many centuries of existence of this huge fortification, Hohensalzburg performed not only a defensive function. In these walls, noble nobles took refuge from the people's anger during the peasant uprisings in the 15th-16th centuries; for some prince-archbishops, the fortress served as a residence, and at the beginning of the 17th century, the fortress became a place of imprisonment for noble persons.
Nowadays, everyone can visit the fortress to admire the picturesque ornaments of the Golden Hall and the Golden Chamber, as well as luxurious carvings made in the Gothic style. The splendor of the fortress premises attracts artists from all over the world to Hohensalzburg, for whom courses from the International Summer Academy are held from time to time on the territory of the fortress.
Mozart House Museum
Salzburg is famous for the fact that the great Mozart was born and worked in this city. Here on Getreidegasse Nr. 9 the Mozart family lived and in this house since 1880, thanks to the International Mozart Foundation, there has been a museum dedicated to the great composer. The museum building carefully preserves children's and concert violins, which the famous little musician played, as well as other musical instruments of Mozart. Portraits of the composer's family members, as well as their letters, documents and everyday items are kept here.
On the second floor of the building there are exhibits reflecting Mozart’s theatrical activities and telling the history of his opera productions. Every year since 1981, with the support of the International Foundation, the Mozart House Museum opens its doors to visitors of thematic exhibitions dedicated to the work of the famous maestro.
In addition to the house in which Mozart was born, in Salzburg there is a house-museum in which the composer’s family lived after moving to the so-called “Dancemaster’s House”. In the spacious premises of the new house, meetings with great musicians of that time often took place. It was in this building that Mozart created his famous musical masterpieces and works for church music.
Salzburg is a purely European city. Therefore, caring for nature is a characteristic feature of any European. Proof of this is the Salzburg Zoo. Each of the animal communities here is allocated a certain territory, reflecting the natural landscape of the natural environment in which certain representatives of the world fauna live.
The zoo in Salzburg, like in most European countries, is admired for its wonderful conditions for keeping wild animals. By visiting this zoo you can learn a lot of interesting information not only about animals, but also about the continents where they live in their natural environment.
Nature lovers should visit not only the zoo, but also visit the House of Nature. The local aquarium is one of the most beautiful aquariums in Central Europe. Visitors will see the magic of the underwater world in all its glory. Reef sharks, brightly colored tropical fish, fish from the Amazon and European reservoirs make it possible to make an exciting underwater journey in a relatively short period of time.
In a separate part of the huge aquarium, there are 56 terrariums in which poisonous snakes, lizards, frogs, alligators and turtles, representing reptiles and amphibians living in different parts of the globe, feel at ease. In addition, there is a space hall where you can see the space city, the planetary system and the structure of the Universe. Many exhibition halls introduce visitors to the world of animals, minerals, fauna and flora of the Ice Age and the nature of different continents.
Hellbrunn Palace with its Fun Fountains is considered one of the most attractive attractions in Salzburg. Created as the summer residence of Archbishop Marcus Sittikus, Hellbrunn Palace soon became a true architectural gem created in the Renaissance style. The highlight of the palace was the vast park, in the shade of the bushes and trees of which the Fun Fountains were hidden. For 400 years now, these fountains, suddenly spraying moisture, have amused and at the same time frightened visitors to the palace. In addition to the fountains, visitors are fascinated by the mysterious grottoes, full of mysticism and mysteries.
From the moment the residence was founded, fountains, grottoes, and luxurious palace halls began to attract noble audiences to Hellbrunn for entertainment and various types of festive events. This tradition of holding magnificent celebrations and unforgettable theatrical performances in the “Stone Theater”, created on the site of a former stone quarry, continues to this day. Cultural events, seminars and conferences held as part of international events are regularly held in the palace park and in the Palace.
The toy museum can attract the attention of not only young tourists, but also adults. In this museum you can not only admire ancient toys, but many of the exhibits are allowed to be touched and even played with. A large number of different children's cars, doll houses, Teddy bears, and a model of a children's railway will not leave any visitor indifferent.
Brewery Stiegl
The largest private brewery in Austria, Stiegl, can easily be called a landmark of Salzburg. Visitors to the brewery will not only be able to get acquainted with the brewing process, but also taste malt wort and young beer from barrels right in the cellar where this traditional Alpine drink matures. In the brewery store, visitors will find souvenirs.
Charming Salzburg lies in the Salzach River valley among the picturesque Alps. The hills located within the city offer breathtaking views of the mountain range - covered in silver snow in winter and emerald green in summer.
Salzburg is the birthplace of the incomparable Mozart, the birthplace of his musical genius. The city has a large number of concert halls and churches where classical music is played. In the summer, Salzburg hosts the iconic Opera Festival, which attracts the best performers from all over the world.
Medieval and Baroque architecture is mixed on the streets of Salzburg, which gives the city a unique and charming appearance.

The most interesting and beautiful places for walks. Photos and brief description.

Around the square there is the residence of the archbishop, the cathedral, and burgher mansions of the 16th-17th centuries. The central place is occupied by a magnificent baroque fountain. It was built by order of Guidobald von Thun, Archbishop of Salzburg in the 1660s. Skilled Italian craftsmen worked on the sculptures.

The most attractive composition for tourists is the modern monument to Paul Fürst. This pastry chef invented the famous Mozartkugel candies. The structure is made in the form of a golden ball on a stand, topped with a human figure.
Romanesque castle of the 11th century, built under Archbishop Gebhard. The stern bulk of the fortress rises above the city and is its architectural dominant. Over the past centuries, the castle was completed and strengthened many times, gradually turning it into an almost impregnable bastion. For nine centuries, Hohensalzburg has stood against the backdrop of the picturesque Alps, during which time it has withstood several sieges and managed to serve as a barracks and a gloomy prison.
The palace and park complex was erected at the beginning of the 17th century and rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1727. After the fire of 1818, it was practically rebuilt, taking the calm neoclassical style as a basis. "Mirabelle" means "beautiful" in Italian. The palace was erected for the secret wife of Archbishop von Reitenau; after his deposition, other Salzburg archbishops lived here until the 19th century. Later the complex was transferred to the city authorities.
Elegant Hellbrunn is 6 km away. from Salzburg. It was erected at the beginning of the 17th century for Archbishop M. Zittikus according to the design of the architect S. Solari. In front of the palace there is a park in the Mannerist style, decorated with figures of stone monsters, fountains, secret grottoes and artificial ponds. The interior decoration of Hellbrunn is made in a rather luxurious manner, especially the main hall and the music room.
The palace is located in the southern part of Salzburg. It was erected for Archbishop Leopold Firmian in the 18th century. The architectural project was developed by a monk of the Order of St. Benedict, who was also a talented architect. Leopoldskron was intended to house the archbishop and his family. The interior decoration of the palace is dominated by a slightly pretentious Rococo style with rich wall paintings.
The former archbishop's residence, which in the 20th century was actively used by Hitler to organize official receptions. Many political figures visited here, including the Fuhrer's closest ally B. Mussolini. Today there is a casino on the premises. The palace complex is surrounded by a picturesque classical English-style park and golf courses.

The main chapel of the University of Salzburg, located in the heart of the city. The temple was erected in the period 1694-1707. designed by I. von Erlach. This master also worked on the architectural plans for the Karlskriche Church and Schönbrunn Palace, both located in Vienna. The Kollegienkirche is designed in the “Habsburg Baroque” style; the main façade is decorated with figured stucco in the later Rococo style.
One of the most ancient temples in Salzburg, built back in the 8th century. The church was rebuilt many times, which is why its appearance absorbed several architectural styles. Thanks to this fact, the Franciscan church looks unusual and quite interesting. In the 18th-19th centuries, the interior of the building acquired dominant Baroque features, and a serious restoration of the facade was also carried out.
The history of Salzburg began with Nonnberg Abbey. The monastery was founded by Saint Rupert in the 8th century, and from that time on it functioned as a convent for noble representatives of aristocratic families (only from the 19th century did ordinary girls begin to be accepted here). Thanks to the generous donations of wealthy sisters, the abbey accumulated an impressive fortune and began to enjoy serious influence in the surrounding lands.
An active monastery founded by the patron saint of Salzburg, Saint Rupert, in the 7th century. Unlike Nonnberg Abbey, some parts of the monastery are open to the public. Over the centuries, the complex was rebuilt many times; now its architecture is dominated by the elegant Baroque style. The relics of St. Rupert are buried in the monastery church of St. Peter, and there is also the crypt of sister V.A. Mozart - Anna Maria Mozart.
The cemetery is located next to St. Peter's Abbey in the historical center of Salzburg. This place has long become a unique and priceless historical heritage of the city and is included in the list of the most popular attractions. The remains of many famous townspeople are buried here.

Now the mountain is used as a place for walking and relaxing in the lap of nature. There are convenient walking routes along the gentle slopes.

Each animal is kept in the appropriate “natural zone”, which creates the most comfortable conditions for the health and life of the zoo’s inhabitants.
If you're looking for a handy map of Salzburg, then the three maps we used might suit you. We were given our first card at the Turnerwirt Hotel, where we stayed for a couple of days in Salzburg. Here she is
How is it convenient?
1. Firstly, this is a map of Salzburg with attractions in Russian. All the city's attractions are numbered on it, as well as restaurants and bars, supermarkets, a train station, an airport, a shopping center - in general, everything that may be useful to you! Please download the transcript of the numbers under which this is all marked. You can download the map presented above in pdf format.
2. Also, numbers on this map of Salzburg indicate tourist routes and excursion trips, as well as places for ski tourism.
The only disadvantage of this map is that the public transport routes reflected on it are no longer relevant; some routes have already changed. If this information is important to you, then use the second map below.
This map of Salzburg is also with attractions - the top 10 main attractions of Salzburg on the map are marked with numbers from one to ten. It also shows current public transport routes. The routes themselves and their numbers are marked on the map in red. You need to be especially careful with routes going along the Salzach River, since the same route can go along both banks of the river, but in different directions. It's best to check with locals to see if you're heading in the right direction. We once sat on the wrong side and drove off into the residential areas of Salzburg.
The third map of Salzburg is transport.
The biggest advantage of this map is that it shows the routes of all types of public transport in Salzburg, each stop is marked. The map is easy to navigate because there are images of the main attractions on it. Information points are also marked on it.

Well, in general, purchasing a card is necessary for those who really intend to visit all possible places in the city. Not to say that the card is super-cheap, but not expensive either.

Well, if you are going to walk or have already rented a bicycle, and are not going to jump from one city bus to another, just buy a one-time trip (costs less than 2 euros per one) - again, it will be cheaper.
