Linzergasse Salzburg 5020 Austria |
In the middle of the Linzergasse on the right-hand side an impressive gate opens to the view up to the Kapuzinerberg. After about 20 minutes walk up the steps and across an old crossroad you come to the Capuchin Monastery. This is the opportunity to take a great view at the old town on the opposite side of the river and the Hohensalzburg Fortress above. The city wall in this part dates back to the Thirty Years War.

Salzburg fortress |
Mönchsberg 34 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 842430-11 http://www.hohensalzburg.com/ |
Nearly from everywhere in town you can see the town's landmark, its castle. The first building was erected in 1077 during a conflict between the Pope and the Emperor of that time. It's said that it is the best preserved castle of that size in Middle Europe. Inside the building you find two museums: One of string puppets and the Burgmuseum - the Fortress Museum. Although there exists an inclined elevator it is recommended to take a 20 minutes walk up to the castle, because of the perfect prospect of Salzburg. Tip: Two hours before the castle is closed there ist free entrance to the inner courtyards of the castle (but not into the building). admission: adults EUR 9,80; children EUR 5,10; families EUR 22,60; Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Pilgrimage through the countryside |
Plainbergweg 38 Salzburg 5101 Austria +43 662 450194 |
Maria Plain has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries. Located to the north of the city, the pilgrimage route to the church makes an extremely pleasant walk. The walk begins at Plainbrücke on Itzlinger Hauptstraße, continues along Plainbergweg, past several churches at Kalvarienberg and then on the Maria Plain itself. The church itself dates to the baroque period and inspired Mozart to compose his famous "Krönungsmesse." Salzburg can be seen in the distance from the square in front of the church. The walk is highly recommended for anyone wishing to explore the area around Salzburg. Review © 2007, Wcities |
