    The Fortress is a must do activity when visiting Salzburg. There is a lot of history of the Fortress, and the role it has played over hundreds of years. It also talks about how it has expanded over that time, and the various occupants.

    There are a few different sections to view, which all provide the history of the location. It is well laid out. The Fortress itself is fairly compact, but do expect lots of walking on cobblestones and stone floors.

    There are amazing views over Salzburg in all directions, being able to see the old city walls in the distance too.

    The gardens are a short walk from the Salzburg old town, across the river. I would highly recommend visiting!

    The gardens are amazing, and we spent about an hour wandering around. A lot of work has gone into maintaining the gardens.

    We visited as a family, and the kids enjoyed the experience too.

    Fabulous views from the top of Untersberg... although quite slippy underfoot. We took advice of other reviewers and picked up no 5 bus ... last stop is the cable car station. The cable car is packed but very smooth. A must if you are in Salzburg. Cable cars go every 30 minutes .. on the hour and half hour.

    The Salzburg Cathedral has been around for 300 years and was where Mozart was baptized so there is a lot of history within the walls. We took the Dom Quartier tour which included entrance to the Cathedral but from the second floor right by the massive organ. The church is airy and imposing, but filled with light. There is also a small museum that has some beautiful religious artifacts.

    The water games are unique. Loved them. Take care of your mobile phone (you will get -though not soaking- wet) )and go for the water experience.

    A couples of hours is more than sufficient for a visit to this waterfall, unless you a re willing to trek to the top of the falls.

    An amazing visit with Max as an excellent guide. Wrap up warm as it’s obviously cold but lots of steps take you a mile inside. High recommended.
    Also worth treating yourself to coffee and strudel at the top of the gondola. Best coffee we’ve had on our travels was here!

    Long queues but brilliant place, lots to entertain young children, especially if it is a wet day. Would definitely recommend.

    Easy to find cemetary next to the funicular station. Lovely to wander around the graves, sadly I was there New Year's Day so the catacombs were closed but it's well worth a visit.

    We took the bus, easy to get there and buses were very frequent, clean and inexpensive. Great audio tour and the water features were wonderful to watch. We got there at 10.30am and it wasn't too busy. If you want to get soaked you can, but for most you get a tiny spray of water on you. Took advantage of it being such a nice day to wander around the gardens and to view the pavilion from The Sound of Music and had a cooling drink in the cafe. We didn't bother going into the Schloss as our main purpose of visiting was to view the water features. I would strongly recommend.
