Salzburg

If Salzburg looks distinctly Italian, it’s because it is. The ornate buildings, elegant squares and elaborate fountains are the work of craftsmen from Venice and beyond who, at the behest of the ruling Archbishop Wolf-Dietrich von Raitenau at the start of the 17th century, transformed Salzburg into one of the finest Baroque cities north of the Alps.

The pleasures are not only visual, however. This being Mozart’s city of birth, there is a busy calendar of concerts and recitals throughout the year, the centrepiece of which is the annual Salzburg Festival, a five-week-long extravaganza in July and August celebrating opera, orchestral music and theatre.

Explore the city

Notes for a self-guided walking tour included

Notes for a self-guided walking tour included

Salzburg is vibrant and cosmopolitan, its rich culture inextricably linked with its most famous son, Mozart.
So that you can get a good feel for the city, we provide detailed notes for a self-guided walking tour that takes in, among other sights, the 15th-century city hall; Mozart’s birthplace, now a museum which houses some of the instruments used by Mozart in his lifetime; the Kollegienkirche, one of the most magnificent Baroque churches in Austria; the Residenz State Rooms, the seat of the all-powerful archbishops of Salzburg until the 19th century; the splendid Baroque cathedral; the Salzburg Museum, which offers an interesting insight into the city’s history, art and culture; the superbly preserved, if somewhat forbidding, 11th-century fortress, which perches on a hill, commanding superb views over the city; the museum of contemporary art; and the romantic Mirabell Palace.

With the notes as your guide, you can explore at very much your own pace, learning about key events in the city’s history as you go along, and lingering at the museums and monuments that interest you most.

Accommodation

The hotel is ideally located for exploring the city. We provide suggestions for where to eat out in the documentation that we send you prior to your holiday.

Please note: most beds in Austrian hotels are normally one large base with two mattresses/duvets. We refer to these as 'Austrian Twins' and they are locally regarded to serve requests for both double and twin bedded rooms. Separate twin beds or traditional double beds with one large mattress are rare and cannot be guaranteed.

Altstadthotel Wolf-Dietrich

This friendly hotel is located on a pedestrianised street on the quieter north bank of the river, about 10 minutes’ walk from the Old Town. The intimacy of the hotel (there are just 29 tastefully decorated rooms) means that you enjoy excellent standards of service – the staff extend a warm welcome to guests and are on hand to offer advice and information on the city. Similar in style to an old Viennese café, the breakfast room is a lovely place to start the day, with a meal featuring plenty of organic produce. For some relaxation, make the most of the hotel’s indoor pool, sauna and steam room.

A really lovely snow walking holiday, lots of trails easily found, sometimes by using free bus routes. Hotel Kitzpitz super, food accommodation and staff first class. Would definitely go back to this hotel. Salzburg add on good, it’s a great city to explore over a couple of days. Altstadthotel Wolf-Dietrich hotel, because of refurbishment left a bit to be desired. Although our room was in the annexe opposite the main building, building work on the main building started around 7 and woke us. We breakfasted in a room in the main building which had builders working within 10 metres of us, not convivial to the eating. Rosa the manager sort of made up for this by her exceptional manner. Kitzspitz 10 out of 10. Altstadthotel 7 out of 10 we wouldn’t return.

INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers added a stay in Salzburg following their winter holiday in St Jakob.

We particularly enjoyed the walking in Bad Goisern and Hallstatt. We had one very wet day in Gosau and so visited Bad Ischl by bus instead. Public transport is very efficient! All transfers were very well organised. We found everyone we met to be helpful and friendly. Salzburg makes a good add on - a lovely city with lots to see and do. The Salzburg card is well worth purchasing - we used it a lot.
