Salzburg City
Salzburg, City of Mozart and the Hotel Post in Unken
The birth-place of Mozart
During your family holiday in the SalzburgerLand, you will also have a great opportunity to pay a visit to Salzburg City. With every visit, this jewel of the baroque captivates anew.
In Salzburg’s historic Old City, a visit to the Getreidegasse is almost obligatory. Aside from the great shopping opportunities in this very attractive pedestrian precinct, the house where Mozart was born also proves a very interesting destination. Continue onwards, strolling through the city’s picturesque back streets, maybe steering your way towards Hohensalzburg Fortress. You can make it up there on foot, or you might prefer to ride the fortress funicular. Awaiting you and your family high above the rooftops of Salzburg are all kinds of exciting experiences amid an inspiring medieval setting.
Salzburg’s numerous museums also offer families countless fascinating insights. The Haus der Natur, for example, scores high points with the kids with its Space Room, an Ice-Age exhibit, dinosaur models and rotating theme exhibitions. Located a little outside of Salzburg is the open-air museum in Grossgmain, where you can experience the history of Salzburg’s rural regions. For the kids, a visit to the neighbouring adventure playground is a true highlight.
Not far from Salzburg lie the splendid grounds of Hellbrunn Palace and Salzburg Zoo. The various habitats within the zoo feature numerous exotic and native animals, all set against a splendid mountain backdrop. Hellbrunn Palace is a renaissance jewel, just an easy walk from the zoo. In its spacious gardens we also find the world-famous trick fountains. For more than 400 years, they have been a source of infinite amusement for big and small.
Of course, the reception team at the Hotel Post has countless other tips they can share for your visit to Salzburg City, just stop by and ask before you leave. Haven’t reserved your room yet? Then go ahead and request your no-obligation offer for a holiday in the SalzburgerLand.
