View of Hohensalzburg Fortress from the Richterhöhe

Highlight • Viewpoint

The judge's height is with 507 meters the highest elevation of the Mönchsberg in Salzburg. On top of the ridge you can admire the restored remains of the original fortifications. From the vantage point, you not only have a great view of the famous Hohensalzburg fortress, but above all a fantastic alpine panorama.

Augustiner Gate (Mönchsberg)

Highlight • Monument

In 1622 and 1623, Prince Archbishop Paris Count Lodron had cathedral master builder Santino Solari build the Augustinerpforte, together with the lowest defensive level, on the upper defensive level above the Monikapforte, which was built later. With the construction of the two defensive levels, the northern part of the Mönchsberg could also be included in the city's defense belt. In addition, the extensive defensive structure between Klausenkavalier in the east and Johanneskavalier (the Müllner Schanze) in the west, which reached down to Müllner Hauptstrasse, served to protect the Salzach from enemy attacks.

View of Salzburg Old Town and Hohensalzburg Fortress

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are some places from which one has a great view of or over Salzburg. Definitely recommend the Kapuzinerberg or the fortress.

Salzburg Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

In a devastating fire in 1598, the original cathedral of the city of Salzburg was so badly damaged that it decided to build a new building. After a construction period of 14 years, the new cathedral was inaugurated in 1628. Master builder was the Italian Santino Somari, who created a unique work of baroque architecture here.

Historic Centre of Salzburg

Highlight • Historical Site

Salzburg's Old Town is unparalleled. Countless beautiful buildings and alleyways stand alongside impressive structures such as Salzburg Cathedral, St. Peter's Abbey Church, and, as the highlight, Hohensalzburg Fortress, which towers majestically above everything and can be seen from almost everywhere.

Goldgasse, Salzburg

Highlight • Historical Site

The Goldgasse in Salzburg is located in the heart of Salzburg's old town and connects the Residenzplatz with the Alter Markt. The goldsmiths and handicraft businesses based there gave the romantic alley its name.
