The old town is very nice! I have travelled to many places in Europe and this place was magical. We bought the "Salzburg card"which was very advantageous for us. I suggest to every one who goes up the mountain close by to et the Salzburg card to save money

- Love the history, the shops, the energy, even the many tourists - don't like the shops close too early, at 6pm, not enough time to go shopping after the sightseeing

I am not a fan of Austria but I did enjoy my day in Salzburg. It is quaint and charming. To get the best of it just take a leisurely stroll. If you have time visit the Mirabelle Gardens. They are beautiful.

We loved Salzburg's commitment to their nationality! The friendliness, the choice of restaurants and convenience of everything being close by.

Walk over the bridge from the city to the Old Center. Check out all the padlocks on the bridge. Explore all the tiny streets and little shops. Food is relatively inexpensive and very good. A charming city.

Salzburg's Old Town is a small, very walkable (almost entirely pedestrian) area, filled with quaint shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as historic buildings. It is a great place to walk around, to eat, and of course to visit historic buldings, not to mention the walk or funicular ride up to the castle overlooking the city, which offers spectacular 360...

It is a must to see the old town, its beautiful buildings, its churches, its museums, Mozart's birth place. Good restaurants. Lots of tourists, though! Of course.
