Salzburg Maps and Orientation

(Salzburg, Austria)



The Austrian city of Salzburg resides alongside the northern side of the Eastern Alps, and extremely close to the western border with Germany. Famed for its beautiful Alpine scenery and no less than three universities, Salzburg has grown up around the Salzach River and is today home to around 160,000 residents.

For tourists, the pedestrianised Old Town area is where the most interesting attractions can be found and this district is better known in Salzburg as the Altstadt, being recently listed as a World Heritage Site. The bustling shopping street that is the Getreidegasse is also situated within the Altstadt.
