Tips
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.Source and further information

From so close up you can see what a huge block this fortress is. It's crazy how it was built on the rock.

By train to the castle. Wonderful Christmas market at the castle.
