salzburg card
by denise16
No matter how long or short your visit I would recommend buying a salzburg card. The tourist office sells them and so do many hotels.
The card will get you into many attractions within the city for free, the public transport will be free within the city boundaries and just outside the city the card can be used on the Untseburg Cable car (and te bus to the cable-car).
the card will always get reduced rates into many attractions. You will soon get you monies worth. visit the website for more details and up to date prices.

You must visit the cathedrals,...
by shdw100
You must visit the cathedrals, they are absolutely some of the best that I have ever seen in Europe, not too ornate, but wonderfully pristine! We saw some Peruvians playing traditional music in the town center of Salzburg. It really made me homesick for Peru where I lived for awhile. Even though they were traveling around Europe as well, they are a fond memory while visiting.
Hohensalzburg Fortress...
by CandS
Check out Hohensalzburg Fortress.
Entry was AS35.
It's really nice up there and you can get a great view of the city. From the top of the fortress there is a fantastic view of the beautiful aqua clear river too. We had an audio guide each for the castle and it gave us a great tour!
We took the funicular (about AS24) up to the fortress and walked back down...I think it was a good idea because the people who had walked up looked very tired. ;)
Guided Salzburg
by WrigleyTodd
If you can find a private guide or go through a knowledgeable tour operator, you may have a much different experience in Salzburg then just walking the street by yourself. Salzburg is a city of great history, stories and tales. You may benefit from taking tours (not the sound of music one!) like the audio tour at the fortress and a private walking tour. The other option is to read up on the city before you visit. Most stories and histories of Salzburg are found in big books on Austria. There aren't that many Salzburg only tourist books and the ones I found aren't that detailed.
Cafes
by acemj
The Sacher, the Glockenspiel and the Tomaselli are some of the more famous cafes of Salzburg. Vienna isn't the only Austrian city known for elegant cafes, rich coffee and sinful desserts. Be sure to spend at least a few relaxing moments in one of these spots while you're in Salzburg.
