Excursion "All Salzburg" - from Churches to the outskirts!
Description:
The auto-walk will perfectly cover all the sights and places that undoubtedly deserve your attention when exploring Salzburg and its picturesque alpine surroundings!
You will discover stories hiding behind slender facades, medieval legends and fateful events of the urban chronicle.
Cozy streets with ancient houses, infinitely beautiful Renaissance courtyards, monumental grandeur of churches, quiet abodes of monasteries!
The smell of coffee, cinnamon, fresh buns!
It's all close! Nearby! Within walking distance! And takes two hours of leisurely stroll through Old Salzburg, which is called the "Scene of the World" or "German Rome" with its feast of Italian Baroque!
But how not to combine the two in one – and not to see no less masterpiece Salzburg surroundings with breathtaking views of the Alps, with charmingly perfect alpine houses, with the life and way of life of local residents, with their tireless craving for decoration and creating beauty from everything! And even from the alpine cows, charming, leisurely strolling almost in the center of the city and looking like painted in the paintings of old masters!
- For starters, we’ll take a walk through the Old Town and discover why Salzburg is often referred to as “German Rome.” Take a look at the Princely Park and Mirabel Palace: here I will tell you the legend of forbidden love, thanks to which the palace is popular with newlyweds around the world.
- At the Salzakh River, we will understand why the Salt Stream is not really salty and has an unusual green color.
- We will go around one of the most famous shopping streets in Europe – Millennial Grain Street, whose cozy Venetian merchant shops attract women from all over Europe and dozens of the best brands in the world. And at the same time consider the facades of wonderfully preserved houses of the 13th century.
- We will visit the monastery of St. Peter, one of the oldest in Europe, find its catacombs and the early Christian cemetery, where the eminent residents of Salzburg are buried. Going back 1,300 years, we will personally get acquainted with the ancient life of monks. And after the tour, if you wish, you can taste the monastery meal in the Cellar of the Apostle Peter - the oldest restaurant in Europe (803 years of opening!).
- I will tell you all the secrets and legends of our famous and impregnable fortress "High Salzburg", which has not been conquered in a thousand years.
- The truly unique Cathedral with five organs will show you not only the main architectural dominant of Salzburg, but also its no less famous neighbors - the residence of the Salzburg princes, Mozart Square with a monument to the composer, the first Austrian coffee house "Thomaselli" of the early 18th century and the pastry "Furst", where the famous "Mozart balls" are prepared.
And Salzburg is a surprisingly prolific city! I will show you two houses connected with the Mozart family, and I will reveal for you the secrets of the unsurpassed maestro. Let me tell you why the Salzburg-born physicist Christian Doppler is respected by doctors, pilots and even police officers. And of course, we will not ignore, probably the most famous music festival in the world - a kind of Salzburg "Vanity Fair" and the very "Scene of the World"!
