Salzburg Audio Tour: Baroque Squares and the Fortress Above

Salzburg was ruled for centuries by prince-archbishops who held both crozier and sword, and they spent the salt revenue on the baroque city you walk through today. This self-guided audio tour runs from the Getreidegasse and Mozart's birthplace through the Alter Markt, Mozartplatz and Residenzplatz to the cathedral, St Peter's Abbey, the Kollegienkirche and the Hohensalzburg fortress on its rock. Fourteen stops in the old town, roughly two hours at your own pace, with narration playing as you walk. Your phone is the guide, so start whenever you like and pause for a coffee whenever you want.
