Perched atop Festungsberg Hill, the Hohensalzburg Fortress is one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved medieval castles. Its white walls and towers dominate Salzburg’s skyline, offering visitors a glimpse into centuries of history, from its origins in 1077 to modern times.

Inside, you can explore lavish rooms, historic chambers, the Marionette Museum, and fascinating exhibits on medieval life and weaponry. The fortress also features panoramic terraces, providing breathtaking views of Salzburg’s red-roofed Old Town, the Salzach River, and the surrounding Alps. A funicular ride makes reaching the top easy, while the walk up is scenic and rewarding.

✨ Tip: Arrive in the late afternoon for golden-hour views over the city. Guided tours are highly recommended to fully appreciate the fortress’s rich history.
