Salzburg Old Town (Salzburger Altstadt)

Salzburg’s Old Town, known as Salzburger Altstadt, is the historical and navigational heart of the city, a maze of medieval streets stretching along the banks of the Salzach River. This UNESCO World Heritage site is the birthplace of Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, adding to its cultural significance. Overlooked by the hilltop Hohensalzburg Fortress, the Altstadt invites visitors to wander through its narrow, winding lanes, where the rich history and well-preserved architecture create an immersive experience.
