Salzburg, Austria

Salzburg is nestled in the Alps, providing breathtaking scenery while you explore. 

Salzburg Tips: 

  • The city is really small, you can easily walk everywhere you want to go

  • Salzburg LOVES the Sound of Music and Mozart, or at least they love the draw their city has for tourists because of these two things. If you too have an obsession with the Sound of Music and/or Mozart Salzburg is for you

  • This city is full of cute winding streets so just wander around! [beware of herds of tourists]

Adventures & Ales Top Salzburg Recommendations: 

  • Go. To. The. Lakes. Fuschl am See is the best. The water is insanely blue, the mountains are gorgeous, and the town is tiny and adorable. Mondsee is another good option, definitely a larger town but still a nice lake. There is a Hop On Hop Off for the Lake District that is extremely convenient, buy tickets outside the Mirabell Gardens

  • Check out the sunset from the bridge crossing the river!

Top Touristy Spots in Salzburg Actually Worth Visiting: 

  • Mirabell Palace and Gardens: Really pretty, but also quite crowded with tourists

  • The Fortress: Although a bit pricey, the Fortress atop the hill is pretty cool. It also provides a nice view of the city and surrounding scenery

Other Things to Do in Salzburg:​

  • Don't forget about the north side of the river! Things are cheaper (everything in Salzburg is still pretty pricey)

  • Dom zu: The Cathedral is essentially the hub of the south side of the river. Sometimes there are food trucks set up and festivals based here as well
