Pure winter romance in Salzburg – travel EXCLUSIVE
The city of Mozart is pure romance. Especially at Christmas time. Here are our eight reasons for a long winter weekend in Salzburg.
1. Winter in Salzburg: Visiting the Christ Child
In the midst of baroque beauty, it is particularly nice to sip on a cup of mulled wine. Or listen differently: A visit to one of the Salzburg Christmas markets, such as the Christkindlmarkt or the version on Domplatz and Residenzplatz, is a must during the Advent season. And will not be regretted.
2. Give yourself the bullet!
Buying or trying the “Original Salzburg Mozartkugel” is also a must – it comes from the Fürst house. Even if the red competition stirs the advertising drum worldwide. You can buy them, for example, in Fürst’s café, which is located in the old town of Salzburg.
3. Gift heaven
The Feinerlei is a coveted address for specialists who like to look around in a hip mix of furniture, clothing, accessories and decoration. One or the other tree decoration ball can also be purchased in this great concept store. Really great address.
4. Holding hands with a look
The Hochsalzburg, the imposing castle and fortress complex from the 11th century, characterizes the silhouette of the city. Our tip: take the funicular up from the old town and enjoy the view down. The cable car alone is an experience!
5. Artful!
The Museum der Moderne is divided. There are two addresses. On the one hand the branch in the Rupertinum and in the stylish new building on the Mönchsberg. Especially when it’s getting too cold outside, it’s a good idea to warm up between the contemporaries and get inspiration.
6. Bon appetit!
That »paradox« is a restaurant of the unusual kind, because the taste explosions are often unpredictable. Prawns with nut butter, for example, or monkfish with corn cream and jalapeño oil. We would recommend the 4 course menu, or a Saturday brunch.
7. Good night!
Of course, you also have to sleep in style. We recommend that Hotel Goldener Hirsch. So fine, so dreamlike. In 2019, the traditional hotel was completely renovated. The Salzburg country house style, which is so popular with guests, and the hand-picked antiques that reflect the more than 600-year history of the house in the famous Getreidegasse have remained the same. And if you want to catch a glimpse of glamour, we recommend the famous Hirsch Bar, which is not only a popular meeting place for local society and international celebrities during the festival.
8. Cheers!
According to Google, Felix is a fan of the Bar burdock punch & cocktails. “Very lovingly run bar. Starting with the cocktails, through the furnishings, to the very attentive and friendly bartenders.” Anyone who has been there can understand that. The cocktails are wonderfully triggered and true works of art. The operators Attila and Tobi also have a lot of experience – you can taste it.
