Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Salzburg, Austrian Alps
It’s been 200 years or so since he lived here, but Mozart is still very much Salzburg’s favorite son. Visit the composer’s residence and birthplace, then explore the Altstadt (Old City), taking in the baroque architecture. If your musical tastes run more "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens" than "Requiem in D Minor," catch one of the many Sound of Music tours and follow in the footsteps of the Von Trapps.

Salzburg has so many great features. This includes a mountain the is directly in the middle of the city on the North and East side of the Salzach River. We climbed the mountain for the incredible views it had of the city and fortress. There are so many things to do in Salzburg, but do not miss the views from this mountain top.

9. DomQuartier Salzburg
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 549 reviews
Installation of the DomQuartier in 2014 restored the original architectural unity of the Cathedral and Residenz precinct, also including the Benedictine monastery of St Peter’s and thus creating an internationally unique museum project. Over 400 year ago, the Salzburg prince-archbishops began to transform the town into an Italian-style Baroque gem. They created a masterpiece of urban design, which is today a UNESCO World Heritage site.

At 13 Euro a person this was an excellent bargain, and this includes the audio guide, which I usually pass on but it was pretty good. You essentially get access to what I'd almost consider several separate museums. First, you walk through perhaps a dozen rooms that are staterooms, or official residence rooms of past Salzburg officials. These rooms are amazing. Some have paintings and even flooring that are 500+ years old. Beautiful tapestries and artwork (frescoes, reliefs, wall and ceiling paintings, etc.) in just about every room. Then, you enter several rooms dedicated solely to art, primarily from Dutch masters. There was even a Rembrandt. Following the art rooms, you get to go outside and make your way to the upper floor of the huge cathedral the dominates the center of the old town. This is cool, as you are offered a unique view down into the cathedral. You're also right in front of the massive organ, which is neat. As for the bit where you're outside - you're only outside for a max of 30 seconds, longer if you decide to snap some photos of the old town, which you'll want to do since you are afforded some nice views from higher up. You then enter a handful of rooms containing cathedral treasure, with precious artifacts and jewels. Some of these pieces date back as far as 700CE. You'll be amazed at how priceless some of these pieces must be... Next, you enter a long hallway filled with an eclectic collection of curiosities. This was rather interesting, as there are such random pieces from various eras from all over the world, to include things such as stuffed animals, mummified animals, fossils, gems, weapons, clothing, jewelry, you name it. Then you enter a couple rooms with some artifacts belonging to the church that I can only imagine are even more priceless than some of the previous rooms that are dedicated to cathedral treasure. That pretty much sums up the various parts of the museum. Again, it's like several museums in one. Truly a great value for the price you pay. There's so much to see. Signs are in German and English, and the audio guide of course comes in several languages. I was able to get through the entire museum in a little over two hours, and that included listening to most of the audio guide; it helps I read fast, as well. Otherwise, I'd allow yourself a minimum of three hours. There are a handful of toilets throughout the museum, a gift shop, and a cafe. Fantastic museum - you should definitely check it out when in Salzburg. I visited on Christmas day. Big thanks for the Staff for working on Christmas.
