The view of Hohensalzburg Fortress is one of the most famous views of Salzburg. The monumental medieval castle towers over the Old Town and forms an impressive backdrop to the Baroque architecture. It is particularly beautiful from the banks of the Salzach River or from the squares of the city center. The fortress symbolizes the history and power of the Prince-Archbishops. Here, the cityscape and history merge into an unforgettable experience.
