Quote: This was a visit lasting about 8 hours because we were making day trips from Munich. I would recommend a stay of a few days just to get the many sights in.

A Day Trip is Not Enough Time

Overview

Cathedral Photo - Salzburg, Austria
Quote:
The fortress is a must-see, for the view and museum. Augustiner Bräustübl and monastery is another.

Quick Tips:

Get a map and a day pass for the bus and use them. It will save you a lot of time. If you are worried about missing something while on the bus, watch out the windows and get off at the next stop to look around; another bus will be by soon. There are lots of places the buses do not go. That is where you should do your walking.

Best Way To Get Around:

Augustiner Brewery

Restaurant

This beer hall is all self-serve. There is an indoor dining area and an outdoor beer garden. The food booths are inside and outside, and each booth serves something different. The beer is served in the beer garden. Get in line, pay, get your mug, and then get the beer. It's cash-only for this good beer and food.

The fortress is a must-see. Use the incline (9.60€) to get there; it's a few blocks directly south of the cathedral entrance. The fortress has many outstanding views of the city and surrounding country. Leave plenty of time to see the museum (free) and other areas inside the fortress.
