Festung Hohensalzburg

Nearly from everywhere in town you can see the town's landmark, its castle. The first building was erected in 1077 during a conflict between the Pope and the Emperor of that time. It's said that it is the best preserved castle of that size in Middle Europe. Inside the building you find two museums: One of string puppets and the Burgmuseum - the Fortress Museum. Although there exists an inclined elevator it is recommended to take a 20 minutes walk up to the castle, because of the perfect prospect of Salzburg. Tip: Two hours before the castle is closed there ist free entrance to the inner courtyards of the castle (but not into the building).

admission: adults EUR 9,80; children EUR 5,10; families EUR 22,60;
