This city is known to music lovers all over the world as the birthplace of Mozart, and in it, indeed, very much reminds of the great composer. However, there is much to see in Salzburg besides Mozart's house. The majestic Hohensalzburg Castle rises above the city like a sentry, and the old part of Salzburg is famous for its Baroque architecture. The beauty of the Alps surrounding the city deserves a special mention. To the top of one of the mountains, Untersberg, tourists can take a cable car and see the stunning panorama of Salzburg.
The Salzburg hotel fund is represented mainly by 3-4-star hotels, distinguished by a high level of service, cleanliness and comfort. Tourists wishing to book a hotel here should remember the following:
- in Salzburg, the cost of a hotel does not depend on its location, but on the season. It is lowest in the off-season - in November and February-March, when not many tourists come to the city, but in summer and on Christmas the prices increase by 1.5-2 times;
- Apart from hotels, apartments are popular here. As a rule, apartments in Salzburg are without service, while those who stay in them will have to pay at least 60 euros per day in the off-season and 80-110 in the height of summer;
- Before planning your trip, it would be useful to study the schedule of the annual music festivals: there are so many tourists coming to the city at this time that there may be problems with available rooms;
- even budget establishments in the vast majority of cases include breakfast in the cost of living in them.
If we compare hotel prices on Hotelhunter, it will become obvious that Salzburg does not belong to the cities where accommodation is cheap: in summer, single and double rooms cost an average of 60-100 euros per day, in winter - at 40-70. However, if you wish, here you can also pick up options that are more gentle for the wallet: although there are few hostels in Salzburg, they are still there, and the cheapest place in a shared room costs no more than 20 euros in summer and 10 in winter.
