Salzburg rankings

Hohensalzburg Fortress rises above Salzburg’s compact Old Town, where the cathedral, Residenz and St Peter’s cemetery sit close together. Across the Salzach, Mirabell Gardens frame another view of the skyline. Mozart’s Birthplace and the Salzburg Festival connect the city’s musical history with its performance calendar, while Mönchsberg brings contemporary art above the rooftops. Hellbrunn’s palace and trick fountains lie beyond the central streets; the lakeside retreat at Schloss Fuschl is farther away in Hof bei Salzburg.
