Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Glockenturm
The tower showcases High Baroque style with its distinctive double onion dome. The copper-clad structure features 35 bells spanning four octaves, with the largest bell weighing over 14 tons.
Access to the belfry level is limited to guided tours. Visitors can view the 17th-century clock mechanism and enjoy panoramic views from the observation platform at 45 meters height.
Mozart was baptized in Salzburg Cathedral beneath the tower. The carillon frequently plays adaptations of his compositions, especially during the annual Mozart Week Festival.
Flash photography is prohibited in the bell chamber to preserve the antique mechanisms. For best shots, use a wide-angle lens from Residenzplatz Square to capture the full 1:2 height-width ratio.
The Salzburg Heritage Foundation conducts annual inspections of the copper roofing and structural beams. A humidity control system protects the wooden bell frames from temperature fluctuations.
Partial access is available via elevator to the cathedral level. The belfry requires climbing 132 narrow steps; alternative virtual tours are offered at the DomQuartier visitor center.

Imlauer Hotel Pitter Salzburg
Staying at Imlauer Hotel Pitter Salzburg was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, the front desk staff—especially the friendly and handsome guy behind the counter—made us feel welcome with warm smiles and excellent service. They even surprised us with a delicious chocolate treat that was rich, smooth, and absolutely perfect. They also printed our transportation tickets, which saved us so much time and hassle. The room was clean, well-appointed, and comfortable—ideal for a relaxing stay. Breakfast was outstanding: a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options from local pastries to international favorites. Even though the price is on the higher side, it’s completely justified by the location, service, and overall experience—especially during peak season. We stayed for three nights, and this was my second visit to Salzburg, yet the city still feels magical. This hotel truly captures its charm. The rooftop terrace in the restaurant (photos one and two) offered stunning views, perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks. A memorable stay that I’d definitely recommend.
ArtHotel Blaue Gans
The room is compact but exceptionally clean and thoughtfully designed. The entire hotel exudes a unique artistic vibe—every detail, from the artwork on the walls to the lighting and furniture, feels intentional and inspiring. It’s like staying in a living gallery. I loved the creative atmosphere and how peaceful it felt throughout my stay. Located just a short walk from the city center, it’s super convenient for exploring Salzburg. The attention to design and comfort makes this place stand out. Definitely worth returning.
Gasthof Hotel Doktorwirt
Staying at Gasthof Hotel Doktorwirt was a delightful experience from start to finish. The warm welcome from the staff set the tone for a comfortable and memorable visit. Our room was cozy and well-appointed, featuring a great shower and a private balcony overlooking lush gardens and a peaceful outdoor pool—though we were unlucky with the weather, as it rained heavily throughout our stay, so we couldn’t make full use of the balcony. That said, I’m sure it would be a real highlight on a sunny day. Breakfast was excellent—fresh, hearty, and perfectly balanced. The hotel’s location is ideal for getting into Salzburg by bus, just a short ride away. There’s a small bar on-site, though no dinner service in the evenings. However, there are several restaurants within walking distance, and we tried one nearby (just a 5-minute walk) that served authentic local cuisine—absolutely delicious, though I can’t recall the name now. One thing to note: many places in Salzburg, including this one, operate on cash-only basis, which was common during our trip through the region, including Berchtesgaden. Overall, this place offers a genuine, homely feel with excellent value. If we ever return to Salzburg, we’d definitely choose to stay here again.
Wyndham Grand Salzburg Conference Centre
The hotel is incredibly convenient, just a short walk from the central train station—perfect for getting around Salzburg and nearby destinations like Lake Königssee, Hallstatt, and St. Wolfgang. The location makes day trips super easy, and I appreciated not having to navigate complicated transfers. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with a great balance of comfort and value. One small downside was the front desk staff’s English proficiency—some communication challenges arose, and it felt like they assumed we didn’t speak English, which made things a bit awkward. Their attitude could use a little improvement. Overall, though, the experience was very positive, and the excellent location more than makes up for it. I’d definitely stay here again.
Dorint City-Hotel Salzburg
This hotel is a fantastic choice if you're looking for something modern, clean, and well-priced. The location isn't right in the heart of Old Town—about a 15-minute walk—but it's very convenient with good public transport access. The rooms are on the smaller side, but honestly, that didn’t bother me at all since we were out exploring most of the day. I just needed a cozy place to rest at night, and this hotel delivered perfectly. It’s not perfect in every aspect, but for the price and quality, it’s absolutely worth it. Great value, great vibe, and highly recommended.
Room 4 & 5 Apartments
A perfect weekend getaway for a couple, staying in the sky lounge was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, everything we needed was right there—no missing essentials, no stress. We got there early and called to ask if we could check in sooner; the team was incredibly helpful and arranged it without any hassle. The apartment itself was stunning: modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed with all the comforts of home. Our only small suggestion would be upgrading the TV to a smart one for more streaming options. Also, maybe one extra towel per person for a week-long stay—because who wouldn’t want to soak in that gorgeous bathtub every single day? Location-wise, it couldn’t be better: just a short walk into the heart of Salzburg’s main town, surrounded by fantastic local restaurants. Plus, the apartment provided a detailed, well-curated guide to hidden gems nearby—truly thoughtful. We’d absolutely return and recommend this place to anyone visiting Salzburg. A top-tier experience from start to finish.

The room was spotless and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. It did get a bit warm, but the oscillating tower fan worked like a charm, keeping things cool and quiet throughout the night. Breakfast was a delightful mix of traditional European staples—fresh bread, local cheeses, jam, and strong coffee—all served with a smile. Best of all? The location. Right in the heart of Salzburg’s old town, you’re steps away from cobblestone streets, historic churches, and stunning views of Hohensalzburg Castle. If you want authenticity, charm, and a true sense of place, this hotel delivers on every level. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Salzburg.

Though it's not large, it offers everything you’d want: a delicious breakfast, elevator access, a relaxing lounge area, and even a swimming pool—definitely a pleasant surprise. The on-site restaurant serves excellent food with a local touch, making dinner a highlight of the trip. Plus, there’s a bus stop right outside, with just a 15-minute ride to the city center—perfect for exploring Salzburg without hassle. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed, from the friendly staff to the quiet, peaceful atmosphere. This is one of those rare stays that exceeds expectations. Highly recommend—would definitely return!

Staying at H+ Hotel Salzburg was an absolute delight. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, and the bed was generously sized—perfect for a good night's sleep. What really stood out was the location: right next to the train station, making travel around Salzburg incredibly convenient. There’s also a department store just across the street, so grabbing snacks or essentials is a breeze. Despite being in such a prime spot, the value for money is excellent—no compromises on comfort or cleanliness. I’d definitely consider returning and would highly recommend this hotel to any traveler looking for a hassle-free, well-located stay in Salzburg.
