Mozart was baptized in Salzburg Cathedral beneath the tower. The carillon frequently plays adaptations of his compositions, especially during the annual Mozart Week Festival.

Sheraton Grand Salzburg
Staying at the Sheraton Grand Salzburg was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is perfect—just a short 10-minute walk to the Old Town, and right behind the hotel lies the beautiful Mirabell Gardens, offering a peaceful retreat with stunning views. The front desk staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service—friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. I even received a complimentary room upgrade and a small welcome gift, which made the experience feel extra special. The room itself was spacious, impeccably clean, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The bathroom was spotless, well-equipped, and very modern. Everything about this stay felt luxurious yet welcoming. With such excellent value and top-tier hospitality, I’ll definitely be returning. A truly memorable stay in Salzburg.
Hotel Schloss Mönchstein
Salzburg was just another charming Austrian town until I checked into Hotel Schloss Mönchstein. From the moment I stepped in, it felt like stepping into a storybook. The pool is incredible—perfect for lounging with an Aperol Spritz in hand and challenging friends to underwater breath-holding contests (yes, really). Breakfast is top-notch: skip the self-service buffet and go straight for the fresh omelets and delicate crepes—they’re worth every penny. Afterward, hop on the elevator and stroll over to La Stella. Their Bolognese, feta cheese pizza, and tiramisu are absolute highlights. Pair it all with a glass of local wine and take the scenic route back through the quiet streets. Once back at the hotel, draw a long soak in the tub, slip into your robe, and lose yourself in a good book before drifting off to sleep. Salzburg isn’t just a destination anymore—it’s become my favorite place on earth.
