A unique atmosphere and a great choice of goods: that's Austria's most attractive shopping centre. Where else can you find such a selection of shops in such a small area? Where else can you shop and at the same time enjoy the company of centuries-old buildings and savour the historic atmosphere between the Cathedral and the horse-pond.
Find anything and everything you want in over eight hundred shops.
Wether you are looking for traditional national costum, which enjoys a unique reputation throughout Europe, or designer fashion in one of the numerous boutiques, you're sure to find something to suit your personal taste and your pocket. Lovers of fine jewellry adn quality antiques will be delighted by the many exquisite shops in the winding lanes of the old city. And the selection of books and recorded music exceeds by far anything else available in the whole province of Salzburg.
Just wander through the historic lanes of the old city. Round off a delightful day's shopping with a quiet dinner for two in the evening in one of Salzburg's many first-class restaurants located in the city centre.
Browsing the shops of a city for something special is one thing. Browsing the shops of Salzburg for something special is quite another. Here, the search turns up unexpected treasures. All the while you're looking for a nice souvenir or an exclusive gift and, becoming hungry and unable to decide between a hot dog stand or a gourmet restaurant, the flair of this charming city will surround you.
Romantic narrow lanes curve around magnificent sacred buildings, flow into spacious squares only to squeeze again between proud, century-old burgher mansions. Crooked paths lead up to the Fortress, past venerable monasteries and take you back down to the bustling city live. In such a picturesque setting, shopping becomes a special experience. There is so much to discover: traditional Salzburg costumes compete with eccentric creations from Europe's fashion capitals; here you're drawn to the glittering jeweller's shops, there to the simple nosegays with their beguiling scent.
Strolling through Getreidegasse is a must. Exploring the hectic bustle of the farmer's market in front of Andrä Church has its own charm. Each Thursday, vendors and farmers from all over the province display their wares, in most cases home-produced. In Salzburg, the traditional exists side by side with the modern, the expensive with the simple. Everything has its place here.
There are many ways of getting to know Salzburg. Sit down in a café, restaurant or inn and look forward to the delights in store for you: the fluffy genuine "Salzburger Nockerl" are just as tempting as the tasty "Bauerngröstel". Wheter regional Austrian cooking or international cuisine, whether simple or epicurean - on a stroll through Salzburg, whoever seeks, shall find.
