Storybook charming, Salzburg’s Old Town (Altstadt) is small and easily navigated on foot. You can easily spend two relaxing days strolling alongside the Salzach River and popping in and out of various shops and cafes. We recommend checking with your hotel concierge about the best way to reach your destination. If you’re ready to venture into the mountains just beyond the city skyline, explore our Austria tours.
