Sightseeing in Salzburg
UNESCO World Heritage Site and cultural city located on the Salzach River
The city of Salzburg
Shopping in Salzburg
Salzburg's attractions are some of the best known and most beautiful in the world. In 1997, UNESCO named this beautiful city on the Salzach a World Heritage Site. The birthplace of Mozart is always worth a visit.
Salzburg is only an hour's drive from Laemmerhof Hotel. Park your car at the gates of Salzburg city centre: at the Neutor Tunnel you will always find space in the parking garage located just a few steps away from the sights in Salzburg Old Town. Or use the Park and Ride car park south of Salzburg. This can be easily accessed when arriving from the south.
Many romantic streets run through Salzburg's Old Town, but the most famous is undoubtedly the Getreidegasse. Forged gilded signs outside the local shops really highlight the special charm of the Old Town.
