Hotels in Salzburg
Discover Salzburg through formal gardens, narrow old-town streets and paths on the Mönchsberg. For a first visit, we suggest Mirabell Gardens, Getreidegasse and a viewpoint as three different perspectives. Choose your hotel location around the main purpose of your trip: sightseeing and a trade fair involve different daily journeys across the city.

What brings you here?
Plan a first visit
Mirabell Gardens and Getreidegasse give your day a clear starting point. Add the Mönchsberg if weather and energy allow, leaving time for a break between the different settings.
Photograph gardens and architecture
Mirabell's garden axes and Getreidegasse's signs offer contrasting subjects. Seek different perspectives, choosing photo positions according to accessible paths and the flow of people using the street.
Combine a trade fair with leisure
For a trade-fair visit, choose the right location first. Then reserve a separate block for exploring Salzburg, rather than squeezing Getreidegasse between tightly scheduled professional appointments.

Explore the city and surroundings
01 / Salzburg
Mirabell Gardens
The garden's geometric layout aligns towards the cathedral and fortress. Look at it as a complete space rather than a collection of photo stops. A walk along accessible paths makes a useful introduction; flowering, weather and access to individual sections depend on when you visit.
02 / Salzburg
Getreidegasse
Wrought-iron shop signs and passage houses shape this old-town street. Look above the shop windows as well as into them. We suggest an unhurried walk with a detour through an open passage, as not every passage is open to the public at all times. Choose shopping stops and breaks according to your interests.
03 / Salzburg
Mönchsberg
Paths and viewpoints on this city hill offer another perspective on Salzburg. Decide beforehand whether to walk uphill or investigate the lift. For a relaxed outing, weather, footwear and your return route matter more than collecting viewpoints; a short walk is a perfectly valid choice.
04 / Salzburg
A day in the area
Morning: explore the garden layout
Begin in Mirabell Gardens and look along the views towards the old town.
Midday: walk Getreidegasse
Continue to Getreidegasse. Choose an accessible passage and a break that suits your tastes.
Afternoon: see Salzburg from above
If the weather suits, explore part of the Mönchsberg. Check your ascent, lift operation and return route beforehand.

Getting here and getting around
Choose the Salzburg property that best suits your main destination: the exhibition centre, the old town or Gnigl. For rail arrivals, plan the onward connection to your chosen hotel; the distance from the station differs from hotel to hotel. Use the full address of your chosen hotel when planning your route.
