Salzburg historic walk through the Old Town in-app audio tour
Explore the most charming streets of Salzburg at your own pace with a comfortable in-app audio tour.
Mostly known as the hometown of the great Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, your tour begins on Mozartplatz, right next to the statue of Mozart.
Uncover its story dating back to the Roman era: where you now see the Mozart statue, there used to be a luxurious ancient villa. Strolling down the streets lined with colorful buildings, traditional shop signs, cafes, and restaurants with Austrian cuisine, you'll cross Waagplatz with its remarkable architecture and listen to the stories of the old Judengasse, ‘the alley of the Jews.’
Farther on the way, you'll admire examples of the skilled ironwork of the craftsmanship of 17th-century Salzburg, as well as statues, fountains, and the 18th-century apothecary’s shop of the Old Market Square. Getting back to Mozart once again: you'll also see his birthplace, the very house he was born in!
The tour will take you to the Town Hall which has been an important symbol for Salzburg since the Middle Ages and whose architecture represents the unique Austrian Baroque style. At the end of your walk, you'll find the harmony of soul and mind by admiring the medieval Bürgerspitalkirche and the University church, as well as the University of Salzburg itself.
