A visit to the imposing Fortress Hohensalzburg is a definite must for your holiday plans in Salzburger Land. On arrival in the Mozart city you can either walk up to the castle or take the funicular railway up to the largest intact castle in central Europe.

A visit to the Landmark of Salzburg

The building of the Fortress Hohensalzburg was started in 1077. The bishops of Salzburg built continuously throughout the century − also to protect themselves from the peasant’s revolt. Today, above all, a visit to the medieval royal chambers and castle museum are the highlights when visiting Salzburg.
