Secondly, it has a plethora of cafés and restaurants serving some of the most delicious dishes, specialty coffees and deserts. Prices are highe...
You can’t fail to notice the Hohensalzburg Fortresswhen walking in Salzburg Old Town. The mighty 900-year-old citadel sits proudly atop a high cliff, watching over the town below.

Right after you cross the River Salzach to enter Salzburg’s historic center, you’ll find yourself in Mozartplatz (Mozart Square). Mozart Squareis relatively small and because it’s so close to the edge of the town, most people just pass by it on their way to other old town attractions. If you decide to stop here, there are a few cafés around the squ...
Also in Mozart Square is the house where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived with his family between 1773 and 1781. This is different from the house where the composer was born, which is also in the Old Town, but in a different area. The house at Mozartplatz was rented by Mozart’s father, Leopold, for his son’s growing family. At the time the house was k...

You’ll pass through Chapter Square on your way to the fortress, the funicular, or to St. Peter’s Cemetery. At the center of the square is the beautiful marble fountain of Neptune, god ...
St. Peter’s Cemetery is one of Salzburg’s most popular attractions. There are two ways to enter the cemetery. The one that most visitors use is through St. Peter’s Abbey, at the corner of St. Peter’s Restaurant. We missed this entrance because the monastery was under renovation and the scaffold was totally obstructing the cemetery gate. The other e...
