2025 Salzburg State Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#celebratewithtrip The Fortress Hohensalzburg is an important landmark of Salzburg. It depicts the history of the city and it is still a very popular tourists attraction in the city. In the history of Salzburg, the start of building the Fortress was in year 1077. I admired the beauty of the Fortress and how it stand tall, massive and majestic on the top of the hill! It was a pleasure looking at although it was already my second time visiting the city but it still a place that I keep looking forward to. As we went up there to see the Fortress, I kept on looking at it not worrying about the time. I just wanted to enjoy the view while reading the history on how it was built and the people behind building this large medieval fortress. Going to Salzburg from Munich by train is just fewer than 2 hours and if you’re lucky enough to book your ticket earlier, you might get the best price! #salzburg #fortresshohensalzburg #austria #autumn2022 #holiday #roadtrip #europetour #vacation

Salzburg is perhaps best known for its association with Music. Aside from being the setting of one of Hollywood's greatest musical, The Sound of Music, it is also the birthplace of the musical genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. There is, however, countless ways to experience this Austrian city aside from what Hollywood has portrayed. One can find unique and magical ways to discover Salzburg any time of the year. Autumn perhaps is one of the best time to go when the summer crowd has already tapered down and you can almost have theanicured gardens all to yourself of a small group at a very comfortable temperature. Enjoy the Autumn breeze as you walk around Mirabell Palace and explore the labyrinth of colors from its garden. Perhaps you may also want to take a glimpse of Schloss Hellbrunnand be amazed by its majesty. You may also simply just take time to absorb the calmness of the surrounding mountains. #fallingforfall

Getting There - no. 25 Salzburg main bus station Attractions - Untersberg mountain, castles, salzach, Gaisberg, Mirabell Palace, old town Hotels - Hotel das Essigmanggut in Anif Food & Restaurants - Spar and kebab cafes and good breakfast spread from Essigmanggut Really recommend the hotel. It has good breakfast spread like smoked salmon which is my favorite! Lots of activities to do from museums, architecture to hiking. Untersberg mountain is only few bus stops away. Take cable car ride up to Untersbergbahn and then 25 mins hike to the peak. 3 hours from Salzburg to visit Hallstatt, picturesque small village offers beautiful scenery.

This time, I'm reviewing "Salzburg Central Station" in Salzburg, Austria🇦🇹!! This station is really beautiful and simple, and the trains that stand out against the blue color were really beautiful!! How to get there☑️ If you are thinking of sightseeing in Munich, Germany🇩🇪, Salzburg is also nearby, so if you have time, I recommend it!! By the way, it took about 2 hours from Munich Central Station to Salzburg Central Station, and cost 13 euros one way. #0yentravelFebruary2025

The hotel is very close to the train station (very convenient for people who want to use the train + bus to go out), the room design is very nice and beautiful, free fruits are provided every day, and there is also a restaurant downstairs that is quite crowded. I highly recommend it!

Salzburg, nestled amid the Alps and renowned as the birthplace of Mozart, harmonizes the elegance of its baroque architecture with its rich musical heritage. This Austrian city, with its UNESCO-listed Old Town, fortress perched high above, and the Salzach River running through it, presented a symphony of cultural, historical, and natural beauty during my visit. Dining in Salzburg was a delightful exploration of Austrian cuisine, where traditional dishes like Wiener Schnitzel and Salzburger Nockerl blend with the cozy ambience of historic cafes and modern eateries. Each meal was a celebration, accompanied by the crisp flavors of local beers and wines, reflecting Austria's culinary diversity. Salzburg's charm extends to its surroundings, with the nearby Salzkammergut Lake District offering a natural counterpoint to the city's cultural richness. A short journey transported me to a world of crystal-clear lakes, alpine meadows, and quaint villages, where the beauty of the Austrian landscape unfolded in all its glory. My journey through Salzburg was a discovery of a city where every corner sings, every street tells a story, and the legacy of its musical heritage resonates through time. Salzburg, with its melodic heart, stands as a monument to the power of art, history, and nature to inspire and enchant. #mytravelhacks#historicallandmarks#localguides#familytrip

Great experience, service was nice. I would recommend this place to everyone to come at least one time in their life. Such amazing views on the mountains and great snow. #Austria #Salzburg #winter #snow

#christmastrip #christmastrip #freehotelstay In Salzburg, you will find Christmas markets placed right outside many historic buildings. You can enjoy the markets, as you view the historical buildings, as when these two come together, they offer a completely magical experience. You can easily stroll under them while taking in history, and all the Christmas spirit. Each Christmas Market in Austria is so unique, so I recommend visiting at least a couple of different ones. Here you can find a quick overview of the destinations that are easy to access and to travel between cities, and give you the opportunity to visit the most magical Christmas Markets in Austria – also, called Advent markets in Austria. Vienna is one of the most beautiful cities on the Planet! Visiting Vienna during Christmas time is even more magical. Vienna offers more than 20 Christmas Markets around the city, all of them offering beautiful crafts, decorations, and amazing local food to try. During Christmas time in Vienna, you can also enjoy ice skating at Rathausplatz.

#christmastrip #christmastrip #freehotelstay The host of some of the best Christmas markets in Europe, Salzburg is a city that truly shines during winter. With a tradition of over 500 years, Salzburg’s main Christmas market is also one of the oldest on the continent. Held each year on the front steps of the Salzburg Cathedral, Christkindlmarkt is a feast to the senses. The gorgeous ornament stands, huge Christmas trees, and gleaming lights create a wonderful atmosphere. The wooden stalls offer steaming mulled wine, gingerbread biscuits, punch, and many other tasty treats, along with other local wintery products. Tucked away in pretty squares throughout the city, there are other smaller markets with cheaper prices

Salzburg is a city located in the west of Austria and is the hometown of Mozart! People call it the city of Mozart, by Mozart, and for Mozart, but when you actually visit, it is a place overflowing with various charms such as cute alleys, beautiful night views, and delicious food, rather than Mozart!! #European travel destination recommendation #European travel destination #European travel #Salzburg travel #Salzburg #Austria travel #Austria

#celebratewithtrip Akakiko Japanese Restaurant is in Forum 1 in Salzburg central station. The restaurant offered various japanese cuisine and Korean chicken specialties. We went there twice to dine in during our stay in Salzburg. The food were great, the price were affordable and the place was very accessible. The restaurant was always full during our visit. My favourite was the red rice and the miso soup. They mouth-watering and I would highly recommend the restaurant! I would definitely go back there when I‘ll come visit Salzburg next time. #akakiko #restaurant #dine #salzburg #japaneserestaurant #europe #forum1

#celebratewithtrip St. Peter‘s cemetery is an oldest cemetery in Salzburg. It is on the foot of Hohensalzburg Castle. Visiting the cemetery was like a walk from the past. There were tombs that were really old and even century older! It was a very quiet place even it‘s in the heart of the city where plenty of tourists busy sightseeing while their tourist guides explained the landmarks. The place was somewhat like a museum. It was well taken cared of, as were there, the gardeners and the care taker of the cemetery were busy cleaning and maintaining the area! The flower beds were best maintained. St. Peter‘s cemetery is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city of Salzburg. #salzburg #stpeterscemetery #touristattraction #austria #holiday #vacation #autumn

#celebratewithtrip Salzburg, Austria is a less than 2 hours train ride from Munich, one of the cities in Germany. Salzburg Altstadt (old city) is a place where all the historical buildings are. One of them is the Fortress Hohensalzburg. As a fan of the movie „The Sound of Music“, it is one of the reasons, why I like visiting Salzburg 😊 Some of the scenes of the movie „The Sound Music“ were shot here! We walked around the city for sightseeing. First thing that we visited was the Fortress! It was so beautiful and as we were there at the top, it was nice looking at the view of the whole city! It was absolutely breathtaking! The old city is a real gem! #salzburg #fortress #altstadt #austria #holiday #vacation #autumn

#celebratewithtrip Cafe Habakuk is at Linzer Gasse 26 in Salzburg. It is located at the old city near the Fortress. Cafe Habakuk is one of the cafes that offers the Salzburger Nockerl, a puffy dessert that is a specialty in Austria especially in Salzburg. Cafe Habakuk is just a walk away if you are in the old city. You can take your break and sit at this cozy cafe with their delicious baked goodies. I would recommend the Salzburger Nockerl. It is worth a try! The price was fair and the place had a relaxing ambiance. The staff were friendly and accommodating.The baked goodies were tasty! Enjoying the old city’s view by walking around, you will find a lot of interesting stores and restaurants that will entice your curiosity. Cafe Habakuk was one of them and we did not regret our choice to have our coffee and cake in that cozy cafe 🥰 #cafehabakuk #salzburgernockerl #salzburgoldcity #citytrip #salzburg #austria #autumnbreak #holiday #vacation

#celebratewithtrip Mirabell Gardens is one of the popular places in Salzburg. The place can be reached just by walking from the central train station or even from the old city where the Fortress is. Some of the scenes of the movie „The Sound of Music“ was shot here, that was why it was busy and full of the movie‘s fans! Aside from being part of the movie scenes, the Mirabell gardens was a nice place to visit. The garden‘s architecture and arrangements were pleasing and calming. There was a space on the right side of the garden which was perfect for picnic because it was segregated from the garden ,it was quiet and far from the bustling tourists who were curious about the gardens beauty or were fans of The Sound of Music movie. The Mirabell Gardens has its beauty and charm that one can admire 🥰 #mirabellgardens #salzburg #thesoundofmusic #autumn #fall #vacation #holiday #citytrip

#celebratewithtrip This was the hotel where we stayed during our Salzburg vacation. Atel Hotel Lasserhof is near the Salzburg main train station, stores and restaurants. The hotel room was spacious enough for 3 persons. The price was fair considering that it is so near at the city center, just some minutes away from the Fortress and the Mirabell castle. The hotel offers breakfast which was included in the price. I must say, the food they served were good although it was a typical European breakfast but it was a lot with plenty of choices like white and dark bread, cake, croissants, cold cuts and salami, scrambled and boiled eggs, different cereals, different flavoured yoghurt, milk, assorted juices, coffee, tea, some fruits and vegetables like paprika, cucumber, carrots, tomatoes, apples, pear, melon and grapes. Our stay in Atel Hotel Lasserhof was great! #atelhotellasserhof #salzburg #citytrip #austria #europe #holiday #vacation

#passionpassport went deep into the woods in Austria Salzburg during my time here as it was winter and nearing Christmas. wanted to try a sleigh ride over here and I think it was nice that I attempted because the views were great. had to be deep into the woods so that it’s not dangerous and more convenient. the agency picked me up from the airport and brought me here for a two nights accommodation. nearby there wasn’t really much as it was mostly filled with local and their houses. could grab dinner in the hotel and went for the sleigh ride the next day. the view was good and the mountains icy and pretty. would recommend.

pretty sure many of us have heard before Mozart who is a great musician. Salzburg is the birth place of Mozart and if you get the chance to visit , you should definitely come by and look at the attractions available. it is a really pretty and one of the most visited museums. especially if you love music then all the more you should be here. there’s also quite a bit of shopping that can be done in Austria Salzburg. overall it’s a very nice and pretty city with very friendly people. food is also affordable and tasty. would recommend making a visit if you get the chance. the museums and palace are pretty for picture taking.

Salzburg Gourmet Korean Restaurant hibiskus's hibiskus means 'rose of Sharon' in German and is a restaurant that mainly serves modern Korean cuisine. The price is a bit on the expensive side, but it's still a place worth visiting if you're traveling and craving Korean food. #GourmetExploration
