The old town of Salzburg and the fortress above it, seen across the river
Salzburg · Where to stay

Staying in Neustadt and Mirabell

Mirabellplatz, Paris-Lodron-Straße and Linzer Gasse give this part of Salzburg several distinct centers. A room near the gardens puts you close to broad walking routes, while an address near Linzer Gasse brings narrower streets and the foot of Kapuzinerberg. Check the actual entrance on a map: being on the right bank can mean either a level riverside walk or a short climb toward the hill.
