University Square

University Square is one of the most popular tourist places in Salzburg. Despite its name, three days a week - Friday, Saturday and Sunday - the square turns into one large market before noon. On it you can see a real rural fair, which attracts farmers from all around. In addition to products, you can buy various handicrafts and unusual handmade souvenirs here.

The main decoration of the University Square is the Colleginkirche University Church. It was built at the beginning of the XVIII century and still eloquently testifies to the scale of secular power, which until the beginning of the XIX century was in the hands of the clergy and princes-archbishops. Colleginkirche is perhaps one of the most magnificent temples of Salzburg.

Numerous streets depart from the University Square, through which you can get to the Old Grain Lane of Salzburg. This is the most colorful area of the city, in which numerous residential houses of the XV-XVIII centuries have been preserved.
