What to do and see in Salzburg, Austrian Alps: The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

March 4, 2022 Almeta Stockton

It’s been 200 years or so since he lived here, but Mozart is still very much Salzburg’s favorite son. Visit the composer’s residence and birthplace, then explore the Altstadt (Old City), taking in the baroque architecture. If your musical tastes run more "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens" than "Requiem in D Minor," catch one of the many Sound of Music tours and follow in the footsteps of the Von Trapps.

Untersberg

Reviewed By S8424YSmarkc - Cambridge, United Kingdom

Great way to spend a few hours of a trip to Salzburg. Particularly at this time of year when there's plenty of snow at the top (but none in town). On a clear day, such as we had, the views were great and it's really nice in the sunny weather. Cable car up is pricey (EUR25 return), but it is free with a Salzburg Card (one of its many many benefits). Easy to reach from the town centre by bus. One of the bus routes (route 25) also goes via Hellbrunn and Salzburg Zoo, so it is very easy to combine all 3 into an excellent day trip (as we did).

We played the Mozart mystery, which is actually described as hard. Though it was hard indeed, still it was solvable and a lot of fun. Our gamemaster Dan was very friendly and helpful.
