Fortress Hohensalzburg

4.8/5
405 reviews

Salzburg Castle is located on the Monk Hill in the old town of Salzburg and is the landmark building of the city. This white castle fortress has a very long history. It was built in 1077 and was gradually expanded by successive archbishops. There are museums and cafes in the castle, and it is also a good place to overlook the scenery of the whole city. When you enter the Salzburg Fortress, the first thing that catches your eye is the inner courtyard of the castle. The surrounding walls of the inner courtyard form a natural viewing platform. Before entering the castle, you may stop here for a while and overlook the scenery of the small town below the mountain. Audio guides (including Chinese) can be rented at the ticket office at the entrance. Because most of the exhibitions in the fortress are marked in German, it is recommended to rent one for sightseeing. The inner courtyard of the castle leads to the golden hall of the bishop. It is made of 4 huge marble columns and decorated very ornately. It used to be the place where the archbishop held major religious ceremonies. Going up the stairs, we came to the monarch's bedroom at that time. These resplendent bedrooms are as restored as possible to the furnishings of the year. The locks of all the cabinets are made of gold-plated, shining like the stars in the night sky. In addition, the fortress grain storehouse located underground can store food for a thousand soldiers for one year. If you are interested in the military, you can also visit the military museum in the castle, where various weapons and armors from the medieval period are displayed. The Torture Instrument Museum displays various torture instruments used to interrogate prisoners and prisoners. In addition, there are various small museums showing medieval life forms such as the Witch Doctor Exhibition Hall for viewing. The Muppets Museum The Muppets Museum is one of the highlights of the Salzburg Fortress. This museum is located in the basement and displays the marionettes used in the puppet theater, including the one that appeared in The Magic Flute. Papageno figures and figures from Amadeus. Here, you can not only see many lifelike puppets, but also have the opportunity to operate the actual puppets. There will be puppet theater performances at a fixed time every week, and tickets must be purchased separately. The specific time and ticket price can be checked at the puppet museum. After the Castle Museum, you can visit the Castle Museum, which introduces the history of the castle, weapons, handicrafts, judicial development and some history related to Salzburg. In the audio-visual room, you can sit quietly and enjoy the sound and light show about the past and present of Salzburg. There is an open-air cafe in the castle fortress, where you can enjoy the surrounding scenery while enjoying the aroma of coffee.

Mozart's birthplace, Mozart House, Mozart Cafe in Salzburg... Everything is Mozart. Haha. Just Mozart alone is enough to feed a city for a lifetime! Mozart's handwritten scores, clothes, etc. are on display in the birthplace and house, so you can meet Mozart from far and near.^^
