The Hohensalzburg Fortress is a real eye-catcher high above the baroque towers of the city. As a landmark that can be seen from far away, the castle is an unmistakable part of Salzburg's world-famous skyline. It appears mighty to visitors from afar, but history can be experienced up close behind its thick walls.
