Gift Baskets to Salzburg, Austria

Salzburg Fortress 

Otherwise known as the Hohensalzburg Fortress, this imposing fortress sits on top of Festungsberg Hill and has been a central power center in Salzburg since the 1000s. Since its inception, the castle has undergone many different transformations, expansions, and additions including a Funicular Cable Car that gives easy access to tourists. Some of the rooms inside the hotel will get you lost trying to explore them all, with various artifacts and traditional decor. You’ll want to make sure you’ve got a map in hand during your visit. The Aerophone is present in the powder room and the Chapel has many pillars made from marble.

Salzburg Old Town 

The Salzburg old town is a world heritage site and one of the biggest in the area. It has lots of different sights, fascinating buildings, beautiful squares, and small side streets that lead off to more sights further down. Medieval and Baroque architecture is apparent in this building as well as in the old town. It’s a nice place to walk through.

Mirabell Palace and Gardens 

Mirabell Palace is one of the finest historical buildings in Austria, with stunning gardens and various collections of artwork. The garden in front of the Salzburg Cathedral provides you with wonderful views and is surrounded by several fountains, hedges, and themed gardens. There are even plenty of places for picnics so that friends and family can join you on your perfect day in Austria.

Mozart’s Residence 

The family’s story, which has been passed down through generations, is preserved in this restored building. Just like the original, it shows off biographies of family members as well as displays their daily schedules.

Hellbrunn Castle/Palace 

Hellbrunn was created in the 1600s as a residential villa and has a lively, yellow rendering. Its formal front façade is fully symmetrical. The palace gardens are a must-see and contain many hidden wonders. The trick fountains are simply magical, so make sure to visit them!

Salzburg Cathedral 

This cathedral originally was built in the 12th century before some reconstruction took place under two archbishops. The imposing front facade includes two towers and is on a “Domplatz,” which is a German term meaning “cathedral square.” The interior is simple but striking and rich in detail. The columns and exquisite organs are almost too beautiful to behold. Frescos on the dome are even more breathtaking and intricate than expected!

Neugebäude 

The Neugebäude or New Residence was the final project of its kind by Hausmann and has beautiful Stuccos along with being host to the Salzburg Museum. Its main draw is its musical Glockenspiel which is still heard today. This amazing arrangement of 35 bells was created in the 18th Century in Antwerp and shipped over to Salzburg where it took several years to tune and set up correctly (Or to the best of the clockmaker’s ability who installed it!). These pieces are also available in the mornings and evenings. They’re perfect for a soundtrack to your day, as they can blend beautifully with any background or environment. You might also find yourself confronted by Mozart and Handel on a daily basis!

Getreidegasse 

This iconic and popular street is famous and fun. It leads to a stretch of old-town shopping experiences. Getreidegasse is a bustling street that is home to many small shops. From the main street, there are many small streets and courtyards with romantic areas. The style of these areas is typical of Vienna’s Austro-Bavarian architecture. At the end of the street, you can find specialty shops like jewelry and fashion where you’ll discover more. There are many eateries and cafes in the area, as well as historic destinations. The neighborhood is perfect for foodies.

Toy Museum 

It contains various historical toys and games from the olden days, such as a horse-drawn cart and game cards from the 1800s. Many children love having an immersive experience with their favorite characters and interacting with them in different entertaining ways. It also includes rides such as a marble run, race course, and toy shop for kids to learn about what it was like in the olden days.

Mozartplatz Square 

Mozartplatz is a peaceful square that has been around for more than a century. The statue at the center of this square is regarded as one of Vienna’s most iconic statues, dating back to 1839. Besides the bronze statue, there are several museums and attractions located near the square. The Salzburg Museum, The Salzburg Christmas Museum, and the Traklhaus are all located around the square. Additionally, there is another adjoining square just a few feet away with more attractions that you can explore yourself!

Hangar 7 

This fantastic-looking building features a flying saucer with fins, capturing the creativity of both art and aviation. It is not commonly found in typical aviation hangars, but it contains many aeronautical relics. The hotel is near the airport, which provides the perfect way to enjoy the city without worrying about connecting flights and long waits. The Hangar contains many of the main attractions in Monaco and an amazing display of all sorts of aircraft at all different scales, ranging from a World War I Ace fighter to a Garuda, to an Alpha Jet Aircraft. Hangar 7 is a fun and exciting place to visit, with amazing architecture and well-presented displays. Check out the swanky social areas too!

Mozart’s Birthplace 

Mozart’s birthplace is definitely a defining one – the museum contains everything from his childhood life to musical instruments and where he composed some of his famous pieces.

St. Peter’s Abbey

A very different building, the Abbey is also home to Catacombs and a Cemetery, an attraction all in one. The Long Gallery includes many paintings and also includes an extensive library with over 100,000 books. Unfortunately, the library is only accessible by very selective guided tours. If you are traveling to Salzburg, it is a good idea to stop by St. Peter’s Abbey in the Old Town. It was founded by the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg as a Benedictine monastery in the early 8th century and has been featured in many historical events over the years.

The Eagles Nest 

The Third Reich era building was constructed as a mountain getaway high up near the town of Berchtesgaden in Germany and although is not in Salzburg itself, it is easily accessible as a day trip from Austria. Today, the building overlooks many visitors. With its architectural design and historical significance, it is a popular destination for Bavarian Alps enthusiasts. The amazing views of the Alps are one of the main attractions.
