Residenzgalerie Salzburg

The stately home of the powerful price-archbishops who ruled over Salzburg starting in 1595.

Reviewed By TravelerO279 - Washington DC, United States

Very large old city square area with plenty of buildings to see and museums/shops in the immediate area. Plan to walk and see. Hats are a must on sunny days. Nice, open area.

St. Peter's Abbey (Stift St. Peter)

This medieval monastery has served as the home to monks for over 1,000 years.

Reviewed By DRR105 - Omaha, United States

While my husband and I were on a tour of Salzburg, we had some free time on our own, and were walking towards the funicular which climbs up to the Fortress, when we happened upon St. Peter's Church, Abbey, Cemetery and Catacombs. It was amazing! The self guided tour of the Catacombs was especially enlightening. For those who love history and old architecture and learning about different cultures, don't miss this beautiful hidden treasure of Salzburg.

Franziskanerkirche

Reviewed By GroverR - Pensacola, United States

What it lacks in size compared to the Cathedral it makes up in height and design. It was originally the high vaulted section with the altar. An addition was made for more seating but it really gives the church an odd design. The best part is the original building with the high roof and tower. While the inside is beautiful with several side chapels and great stain glass, it is the vaulted ceiling and five support columns that make this a Salzburg MUST SEE. It is what distinguishes the church and makes it unique, along with is Gothic design in a Baroque city.
