Sights in Salzburg

Salzburg – around 155,000 inhabitants – is characterized by its city mountains, the Salzach and the Hohensalzburg Fortress. The city was founded in 696 as a bishop's seat , but before that the Roman city of Iuvavum was located on the site, which fell in 488. From 798 Salzburg was the seat of the archbishop. The city takes its name from the dominant salt production in the region at the time. The trade in white gold of the early Middle Ages led to prosperity, and gold was also mined in the area.

The core of the Hohensalzburg Fortress was built in the 11th century and is one of the largest European castle complexes of the Middle Ages. In the 17th century, Archbishop Wolf Dietrich magnificently expanded Salzburg as a residential city, creating Hellbrunn Palace with its park. Salzburg's Old Town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since the late 1990s. The city's most famous son is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791). The most important sights, which are also among the most important excursion destinations, are:

• Birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with permanent exhibition
• Hohensalzburg Fortress
• Mozart museums
• Grain Alley
• Hellbrunn Palace with garden
• Mirabell Palace and Mirabell Gardens
• House of nature
• Museum of Modernism
• Salzburg Zoo

Excursion destinations in Salzburg

In addition to the sights mentioned, there are very nice excursion destinations in the Salzburg area. These can be explored on guided tours, using public transport or even in your own car.

The organic holidaymakers reach the surrounding ice caves, a mountain peak or the salt mines surprisingly quickly. Salzburg's nature can be enjoyed to the fullest. After all, the city is located on the northern edge of the Alps and offers a view of an enormous mountain panorama. Hikers feel extremely comfortable in Salzburger Land!

Salzburg's two local mountains are the Untersberg and the Gaisberg. The Eisriesenweltwerfen presents fantastic sculptures, it is the world's largest ice cave .

The Hallein Salt Mines show how salt was mined here in the past - on a trip underground, of course! In addition to adventure and fun, mystical moments await visitors there. Among other things, the history of the Celts plays a role, as they mined salt here 2,500 years ago. The journey into the heart of the mountain takes place on a historic mine railway; there is a big show at the underground salt lake, to which visitors slide down two miner's slides.

You can travel across the lake on a raft. In front of the mountain, a sun terrace and a viewing tower offer a magnificent view over the Salzachtal valley and the Hohensalzburg Fortress. The Celtic village SALINA was built on Dürrnberg. Here you can trace the history of these prehistoric miners who settled the region before the Romans.

The Hallein Salt Mines are also a great experience for children. You will receive explanations from Sally the Pit Duck in a funny and exciting, but above all child-friendly way - even four-year-olds understand what it's all about. Of course, there are many more interesting excursion destinations in Salzburg, including:

• Ferdinand Porsche Worlds of Experience
• Silent Night Museum Oberndorf
• Hohenwerfen Adventure Castle
• Salzach ovens
• open air museum
• Gaisberg and Gaisbergstrasse

Organic vacation in Salzburg with children

Salzburg is ideal for organic family holidays with children. They will love the Salzburg Zoo, but the birthplace of Mozart, the Hohensalzburg Fortress and one of the two castles (Heilbrunn or Mirabell) could also be of interest to them. In addition, Salzburg offers a varied entertainment program and also great opportunities for hiking and cycling in the area.

The distances in the city and also to excursion destinations in the surrounding area are generally rather short. Overall, Salzburg is very family-friendly. City marketing has come up with characters for families with children, such as Little Amadeus and Leo the lion. They tell the children about the exciting history of the city at their own, age-appropriate pace and, among other things, encourage them to find out more about it with a puzzle rally. There is entertainment for children at any time of the year - through events, museums and even sports. There are various options for recreational athletes that are interesting for families with slightly older children. They are offered on the city mountains and green spaces.

As a spectator, the Gaisberg race and the Salzburg Marathon would be interesting for the whole family: the backdrop for these events is unique and it is not for nothing that it attracts thousands of visitors every year. The Creative Kids Club offers selected events directly for children:

• Journey to the Middle Ages
• Summer festival of children's friends
• Rumpelstiltskin

The children might also enjoy a trip to the Salzburg Toy Museum. The concept here is: “Experience and try out”! The children should therefore explicitly play with the toys on display. This takes them into the world of children from previous centuries.
