About Salzburg
Salzburg: Baroque Spires and Alpine Approaches
Salzburg sits on the Salzach River in northwest Austria, 150 km east of Munich and 300 km west of Vienna. The Old Town (Altstadt), a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, concentrates its signature baroque architecture within walking distance of Getreidegasse, the narrow merchant street where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756 at No. 9. Hohensalzburg Fortress, built in 1077, anchors the skyline from its perch on Festungsberg and remains one of the largest fully preserved medieval castles in Central Europe.
Where to Stay in Salzburg
Hotels cluster around three main zones. The Altstadt puts guests within minutes of Mozartplatz and Residenzplatz. Linzergasse on the right bank of the Salzach offers quieter guesthouses at lower price points. The Schallmoos district east of the main station suits travelers arriving by rail — Salzburg Hauptbahnhof connects to Vienna in under 2.5 hours by Railjet.
Practical Tips
- Best season: July brings the Salzburg Festival (founded 1920), drawing 260,000 visitors — book hotels three to six months ahead.
- Getting around: The compact Altstadt is walkable; funicular runs to Hohensalzburg from Festungsgasse.
- Airport: Salzburg W. A. Mozart Airport (SZG) lies 4 km southwest of the centre; bus line 10 connects in 20 minutes.
- Day trips: Hallstatt is 75 km southeast; Berchtesgaden (Germany) is 30 km south.
