    The name has historical origins: The oldest documented mention of a Jewish settlement in Salzburg dates back to 1284. It is also documented that Judengasse was the Jewish settlement center in Salzburg from the Middle Ages until the expulsion of the Jews in 1498. In addition, as one of the oldest thoroughfares in Salzburg, it had an important function for trade.
    Some houses in Judengasse are reminiscent of Salzburg's eventful past. House number 15 housed a synagogue until 1415, and house number 3 has a very special façade with the only pure Art Nouveau portal in Salzburg.
    Judengasse is one of the most popular shopping streets in Salzburg's old town. In addition to modern boutiques and international fashion labels, you can buy the finest chocolate, souvenirs, furnishings and Easter and Christmas decorations all year round.

      The Judengasse in the old town of Salzburg stretches from Waagplatz to Getreidegasse. This is where the majority of Salzburg's Jews lived in the Middle Ages until the second expulsion of the Jews in 1404.

        A stroll through the narrow streets and historic buildings will give you an impression of the former Jewish community.
        The atmosphere in Judengasse is characterized by history and nostalgia. The narrow, cobbled streets and the old houses from the 17th and 18th centuries contribute to a unique atmosphere. It is like a journey into the past and you can easily imagine what the city used to look like.
        During your visit you can also take a detour to the synagogue, which has been converted into a museum. Here you can learn a lot about the history of the Jewish community in Salzburg.
