Salzburg is maybe Austria’s most famous city after Vienna. In this Austria travel video I’m going on a travel walking tour through this magical and romantic city which serves as the perfect gateway to the Alps. Along the way I will give you some hopefully useful ideas on what to see in Salzburg. Make sure you watch to the end where I will provide some additional tips and answers to questions you may have.

Salzburg is the fourth largest city in Austria and is located about 150 km (93 mi) South-East from Munich and 300 km (186 mi) west of Vienna. Salzburg's historic center (German: Altstadt) is known for its Baroque architecture and is one of the best-preserved city centers north of the Alps. It has a whopping 27 churches and is dominated by the massive Hohensalzburg Fortress. Salzburg is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tourists and travelers usually come to Salzburg to tour the historic centre and the scenic Alpine surroundings. So when you come to Salzburg, make sure you also check out the amazing little alpine towns and villages in close proximity, such as Hallstatt, Bad Ischl, St Gilgen, St. Wolfgang, Gosau and Zell am See.

What is Salzburg known for and why is it a favorite with tourists? Well, Salzburg is of course known as the birthplace of the 18th-century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Because of its history, culture, and attractions, Salzburg has been labeled Austria's "most inspiring city”.

Geographically, Salzburg sits on the banks of the River Salzach, at the northern boundary of the Alps. The mountains to Salzburg's south contrast with the rolling plains and hills to the north. The closest alpine peak, the closer to 2000‑meter-high Untersberg, is less than 16 kilometres (10 miles) from the city center. This area is flanked by two smaller hills, the Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg. Interestingly, and as a fun fact, Salzburg has about the same latitude as Seattle.

What makes Salzburg such a great city to explore is that it’s probably one of the most walkable cities you can find. Everything is in close proximity and you won’t have to cover large distances between the various sightseeing landmarks.

I admit Salzburg is the most beautiful of little cities and i also admit that i don't know a better vlogger than you, very pleasant to follow.

Magnifique!!! J'adore Salzburg. Ma fille habite là bas, elle est pianiste. Cette vidéo est un régal pour me souvenir des tous ces merveilleux endroits que j'ai visité. Merci pour partager.

I visited Vienna in May 2018 and Saltzburg more than 30 years ago. I like both cities but I prefer Vienna. When I visited Saltzburg I missed many places, therefore I need to go back.

[ЛюбомирСтоянов-эщ]

Thank you very much for this amazing and enjoyable video! The city of Mozart is very beautiful and your film shows and confirms that!

[rolfgerig]

Thanks for taking me to the spots I could not visit recently due to a disability and lack of time.
What a great video production about Salzburg! Tasteful and very appropriate background musik and not overdone video effects with informing commentary in a pleasant tone. Cheers.

As you have said during your tips, Salzburg is definitely a "must see"
We have only been once during August in 2014, however I didn't find it too busy. The day trip we took while visiting this beautiful town was to Berchtesgaden to see the Eagles Nest with its dark history but amazing views. Next time I will make time for the towns near by in Austria which you showcased in previous videos. Cheers my friend.

Another wonderful video. We fell in love with Salzburg in 2018. The old town was magical. We were cheesy and took the Sound of Music tour - but it was still fun and a must see (I think) for any American tourist. We also made it to Hallstatt - which to this day remains the most beautiful place I have ever seen with my own eyes. I highly recommend St. Gilgen and Bad Ischl. (You go through both to get to Hallstatt.)
