The old town of Salzburg is a real jewel and is full of history and culture.
It's hard not to be charmed by the narrow, cobbled streets and magnificent baroque buildings that characterize this part of town. Here you can just stroll through the streets and enjoy the atmosphere, which is so different from other parts of the world.
The air is filled with the sound of Mozart's music and the babble of tourists and locals strolling the streets. Here and there you will discover a small alley that leads to a hidden square or a shady terrace. Here you can take a break, enjoy a coffee or an ice cream and just relax.
The old town of Salzburg is also a popular spot for shops and restaurants. Here you will find everything from luxury boutiques to local shops selling traditional handicrafts and souvenirs. You can take a break in the cozy cafés and restaurants and let yourself be pampered by the Austrian cuisine.
Of course, Salzburg is also an important place for art and culture. Mozart was born here and many of his most famous works were composed and performed here. The city is also home to numerous theatres, concerts and operas, which attract thousands of visitors every year.

Old Town Salzburg: a walk through the centuriesThe lively atmosphere and the special charm that characterize Salzburg can best be experienced on a walk through the historic center. The old town of Salzburg can be explored on foot. It is divided by the river Salzach into two parts: the right old town with Linzergasse, Platzl and Steingasse and the left side of the old town. UNESCO's World Heritage Site includes the older left-leaning Old Town, which also includes the Kaiviertel, the Festungsberg and the Mönchsberg.
