SALZBURG CASTLE
The Hohensalzburg fortress spreads out over a length of up to 250 metres and has a width of up to 150 metres, thereby making it the largest preserved fortification in Central Europe. The castle complex is situated on the fortress mountain directly in the centre of Salzburg. You can comfortably reach Salzburg fortress with the fortress railway.
The fortress mountain is joined to the Mönchsberg. After your visit to the castle, you still have time for an atmospheric stroll there and can enjoy some magnificent views of the town.
On the castle itself, architecture at its most imposing and several museums await you, such as the recently redesigned fortress museum and the “World of Puppets” museum, the kind of which you won’t find anywhere else in Europe, what with its unique exhibits from the world-famous Marionette theatre as well as other countries around the world. In this museum, you can have a go at puppeteering, amongst other things - enjoy yourself!
It’s also certainly worth mentioning the Castle Tavern with the historic Castle Hall as well as the Panorama Restaurant on Salzburg fortress with 2 unique panoramic terraces, which guarantee an unforgettable view of the town and countryside.
