This amazing 11th-century castle overlooks Salzburg from a hill on the outskirts of the city. Fortress Hohensalzburg is a real eye-catcher, high above the Baroque towers of the city. The castle remains a visible landmark to this day and is an unmistakable feature of Salzburg’s world-famous skyline. From afar, the mighty walls begin to reveal the history visitors experience at first hand within these sturdy defenses. Opening hours: We are open for you 365 days a year - even on public holidays!

Whether you walk up the road to get to the fortress or take the funicular, visiting Fortress Hohensalzburg is a must-do/see in Salzburg. It's well worth the 13 euro or so (which includes a one-way ride on the funicular as well and a free audio tour). The fortress is very well-preserved, the audio tour and museum offer a lot of interesting history (of the region, the fortress, the rulers over various times, etc.), and the views from the top are stunning. I'd budget at least two hours, but you can easily spend more time up there. From late November to late December, they sell gluhwein, and other beverages and snacks as well.

This is on a hill and can be accessed by a cable in Innsbruck, Austria and the most popular annual ski jumping competition is conducted here and this well built ski jumping track is even visible from the highway nearby. Jumpers doing ski jumping is quiet a sight, the rythum and the speed of their movement along the track is a joy.

Once you have been strolling around the pedestrian zone have a visit to Landhaus, and start from outside, admire the beautiful courtyard, the towers, the arch, the proportions of the building. Enter it and... I won't anticipate anything, it's worth every minute of your time!
