Old Town of Salzburg
by HORSCHECK
Take a stroll around the Old Town of Salzburg which is located on the left bank of the river Salzach.
There are many picturesque buildings in the narrow passageways. The many arcades, courtyards, steep and narrow steps create a unique atmosphere. The Old Town can be explored by horse-drawn carriages.
Festung Hohensalzburg
by Cool-123
It is located in the old town. It takes about 15 mins walk to the top or you can use the Festungsbahn funicular. The outlook to the north over the city is simply stupendous. The view to the south is of Alpine peaks, including the Untersberg (1853m).
See all the pretty churches...
by Venturingnow
<font color= teal See all the pretty churches throughout the city of Salzburg. The Dom is nice, and so is St. Peters. The interior of the Dom is nice because it's all plaster, or stone, and it's very detailed. If you're into that sort of stuff, you'll have a blast in Salzburg. My fondest memory of Salzburg was waking up and touring the city in 35 degree weather while it rained/sleeted/snowed throughout the day. I ended up just having to go inside the Dom to warm up for about a half hour because I could no longer press the button on my camera!
Germknoedel (Yeast Dumpling)
by HORSCHECK
Don't miss to try a Germknoedel in one of Salzburg's cafes or restaurants. It is a dumpling of sweet dough filled with plum, which is served with brown butter and vanilla sugar.
Usually a Germknoedel is a dessert, but for most people it is already enough to be full up.
