The Hills Are Alive in Salzburg
Made famous for its “hills alive with the sound of music”, Salzburg is a very pretty town filled with romantic buildings and squares. If you are not yet aware that Mozart was born here, then you will be as soon as you land at Salzburg W.A. Mozart International Airport.
Further your education about this musical prodigy at his actual birthplace, Mozarts Geburtshaus. The city is the namesake of the Salzach River which runs through it, and alongside this beautiful river lays the Schloss Mirabell, one of the many impressive castles within the city limits. Schloss Mirabell and Hellbrunn with their picturesque gardens, beautiful galleries and impressive halls make the ideal spot for a picnic during summer.
The white-stone Hohensalzburg fortress is perched upon a green hill and offers magnificent views over the city. Or, you can escape it all in the Kapuzinerberg forest, which offers splendid Alpine vistas- a reminder of Salzburg’s natural beauty.
The shopping centre focuses around Alter Markt Square and Getreidegasse, the latter is a quirky street with old-fashioned signs indicating what each store sells. With 125 hotels and guesthouses available on Booking.com, your stay in Salzburg is bound to be as pleasant as this city is pretty.

The Sound of Music tour was a great way of discovering Salzburg. Ana, our guide, had the most spectacular singing voice and a wonderful sense of humor. My memories of musical Salzburg will be of Mozart, the Sound of Music and Ana.

Salzburg was enchanting!
Salzburg was enchanting! We enjoyed the sound of music tour and the river cruise, dinner and chamber concert at the fortress. It was magical - as if the music was a time turner, and we could imagine the lives of the people who inhabited the fortress in medieval times! The music was beautiful, and the food was delicious. The view from the fortress was breathtaking.
Even just walking around was an experience - something new and charming to see around every corner! We want to go back...

Beautiful city.
Beautiful city. It is small, which makes it walkable and just stunning when it comes to architecture and scenic setting. My tip on how to adventure this city: just walk everywhere and don't hesitate to go through the small streets. Go the whole loop on Moenchsberg to get a 360 sense of this city.

We attended several concerts in the Festival and they were stunning, but the city itself was also beautiful. Highly recommend a trip up to the Modern Art Gallery - not for the gallery but because the view from the terrace is superb. The round boat trip on the river Salzach was wonderful and one of the best places to sit and drink coffee is Cafe Bazar next to the river.

Touring on self guided tours, and bus tours led by experts.
Touring on self guided tours, and bus tours led by experts. "Sound of Music Tour" a must! Going to "Hitler's Eagles Nest" was amazing and humbling to realize how grateful we are that he was stopped! Walking the old towns, and sight seeing the best!
“The location of the hotel is excellent, just beside the Mirabell Garden and in the walking distance to the old town. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel where we can find buses to many other places like Hellbrunn Castle and the train station. The stuff is very helpful. They helped us to reserve a Michelin star restaurant 1 month in advance so that we can enjoy the wonderful food. The breakfast has a lot of choices and the service is also wonderful! Would recommend Hotel Bristol to all my friends who are going to visit Salzburg!”
“Newley renovated and clean rooms. The lady that owns/runs the place is friendly and helpful. Hotel is about a 15 minute walk from Old town Salzburg. ”
“This hotel owned and run by the Kuhns is an undiscovered gem. It has staff that is courteous, friendly and knowledgable. It has a great location; approximately, a 10 minute walk to anywhere in old town Salzburg. It is spotless and clean to a "t". I will stay at this hotel anytime I am in Salzburg.
Other hotels could learn about customer service by spending time at the Bergland.

“Great location! Near pedestrian shopping area and cafes. A short walk to old town Salzburg and the train station. Great breakfast and friendly, helpful staff. Would definitely visit this hotel again.”
