When in Hallstatt it is worth visiting this small museum right in the centre, you can’t really miss its doorway, and see exhibits and facts about Hallstatt and its salt mining etc.

Modest interior and monumental facade with high bell tower. Interesting place to visit, especially early in the morning when you can see sunlight coming through the high windows. View of the lake is amazing in the morning from the church yard, water has deep blue color and surrounding mountains are casting shadows, which makes the scenery absolutely fantastic

Experience a bird's eye view of Hallstatt! The new viewing platform extends 12 metres from the mountainside and 360 meters above the ground.

There would be no reason to go to Hallstatt & not take the funicular up the mountain, unless of course, you are in shape to walk up. We are not, so we rode the funicular to the viewing platform joining the small crowd waiting patiently for their turn to snap perfect Instagram shots & gaze out at the spectacular views of the Hallstätter See & the breathtaking backdrop of still-snow-covered-in-May mountains. The wonder of nature’s majesty is evident in this peaceful place, the smooth as glass See (Lake), the endless mountains that fringe the view in every direction & fast running streams creating the perfect relaxation playlist. The price of your ticket is two-way, stop at the Information Center to get a discount coupon. Parking is the most challenging aspect of visiting Hallstatt, there is ZERO street parking, there are designated lots showing the number of open spaces available, but the day we visited, our lot showed 20+ available & there were 3. We got lucky & found a space, but driving a large vehicle is not advised, the cost to park is very reasonable, remember to take your ticket & pay at the machine before driving to the exit. We also did the Salt Mine Tour - cannot recommend, it didn’t measure up to other Salt mine tours we have done, but many people in our group enjoyed it so that is something for you to research & consider. You do not have to take the Salt Mine tour, it is a separate price, but if the weather conditions are favorable, do not miss the incredible views from the Skywalk platform & Cafe Restaurant.

Simply a gorgeous place, on par with other world attractions like Venice and Macchu Picchu. Even the bus/train ride from Salzburg is beautiful. However, do try to go before the summer crush. We were there in May when it was still chilly and it was already getting crowded once the buses rolled in. Definitely stay overnight so that you can do the fantastic hikes in the area like Echernthal or around the lake., or down the hill. Also, it's a different experience to have the old town to yourself at night.

Only a short walk from the town centre, it was wonderful to enjoy the water here. We didn't swim but paddling the feet was grand. It also provides a great vantage point for thrilling vistas of the lake and town.

Visited during winter and was blessed with a clear sunny day. Took a boat ride on this beautiful lake and loved the reflections of the mountain and the town in the waters. Best to visit in the morning.

If you like bone churches, this one is nice because it is small so you are really close to the skulls and can read the writing. We liked that there was only one other couple visiting at the same time so we were able to take turns getting all of the pictures we wanted without feeling claustrophobic.
