Frequently Asked Questions
By coach. Ships call at Passau or Linz on the Danube, and the drive takes under two hours from Passau, through the hills of Upper Austria. The call therefore takes the form of a full-day excursion.
No. Salzburg sits on the Salzach, away from the Danube: you have to leave the river to reach it. That is why it is offered as a coach excursion from Passau or Linz.
The Getreidegasse and Mozart's birthplace, the cathedral and the squares linked by vaulted passages, the Hohensalzburg fortress by funicular, then the Mirabell gardens across the Salzach.
At number 9 Getreidegasse, behind a yellow facade. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born here in 1756; the house is now a museum holding instruments, scores and family portraits.
A funicular climbs from the old town in a few minutes. Built from the 11th century onward on its rocky spur, the fortress offers a complete panorama: the city's verdigris domes, the Salzach running through it and, to the south, the jagged line of the Alps.
Entirely. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it is walked square by square through vaulted passages, so the stroll feels like a game of hidden doors.
Mozartkugeln, the balls of marzipan, nougat and chocolate created here in the late 19th century, sold in the old town's confectioners. Traditional cafes, meanwhile, serve apple strudel under moulded ceilings.
The euro and German. Salzburg is a major tourist city: cards are accepted everywhere and staff are often comfortable in English.
Partly, yes. The gardens of Mirabell Palace, across the Salzach, appear in several scenes of the film; their geometric parterres frame the fortress in the distance.
Yes, but it makes for a long day: the round-trip coach ride from the Danube has to be counted in. The funicular, the fortress and the Mirabell gardens appeal to children; the museums ask more patience.
