Pretty town square with gorgeous buildings and fountains. There are numerous references made to Mozart here. There are multiple street performance here adding to the great vibe. This area is one of the city's visited place in Salzburg and it is easy to see why. You get to enjoy both the beautiful view of church and the mountains. When you leave the area and walk in the direction, you will surely be able to see the beautiful river bank on your way.

Multiple shopping and F&B options here. We tried Zwettler's Wirtshaus which was in a little corner and the food was fantastic. Recommended to have your lunch there.

A must when you are in Salzburg

Chanced upon this cafe for a coffee break on the way to my hostel from the train station. Had a latte machiato and a salted caramel eclair for snacks.

I liked this cafe primarily for the interior design. It is amazing how the owner is able to create a place that oozes creativity using simple colours (yellow, white and black) and materials that others usually dispose off. For example, I believe the peeling concrete ceiling would be replaced immediately in many cafes in Asia as such ceilings would give the customers impressions that the cafe is poorly maintained. But here, I loved how the peeling cement ceiling goes with the basic tiles on the walls and tables.

The place is a clear favourite with locals as I saw many students working on their laptops and engaging in discussions. So a good spots for digital workers / nomads.

Coffee is good but it didn't leave a deep impression on me.

Still though, I recommend coming here to experience the vibe and design.

Amongst the must sees when you're in Salzburg, especially when there is no entry fee! The well-maintained garden landscapes and detailed goddesses sculptures simply delights. Lots of different flowers and colors to brighten up your days.

There is sufficient seating in the gardens to easily spend an hour or two, with a cup of coffee and book by your side :).. Enjoy the magnificent views of the castle here as well.

The famous movie “Sound of music” was shot here. A must visit if you’re a fan- take a picture on the steps that Maria and the kids sing at!

Didn't go inside due to a tight schedule but the external architecture of this building is simply majestic and beautiful. Nevertheless, I was contented to be able to witness this marvel from the outside. There are also many beautiful buildings and churches at walking distance from Hofburg. Spend a day here walking around and you will not regret it

Coffee is thumbs up excellent. I have to give it to them. I tried the Brazil samambaia and the chocolatey taste/smell was great. The profile was probably the best I had in Europe.

They also have a good background information of all their products, including taste profiles and origins.

However I give it 4 stars because I prefer the service of the other cafes nearby namely Urban Specialty Coffee. The service in Dabov seems less responsive. On the other hand, the owner at Urban Specialty is much more generous in sharing his knowledge. I stress though this is my experience and opinion so it may not apply to locals visiting.
