Salzburg in autumn: gardens, old streets and a view from above
Leave a little breathing room in your Salzburg itinerary. This autumn walk links Mirabell Gardens, the Salzach and the Old Town, then offers a choice of a city hill or a fortress visit. It is a suggested route, with time for lunch and changes of plan rather than a fixed sightseeing timetable.
