Salzburg Luxury Hotels

St Peter's Church and the cemetery. Being in Salzburg, you should visit St Peter's Church and its cemetery. In due time the church was completely rebuilt and luxuriously decorated, but if to compare it with the Salzburg Cathedral – it is just a small and cozy church. It used to belong to the Benedictine abbey of St Rupert. St Rupert was buried at the church cemetery, were you can also find the tomb of Haydn's younger brother. Not far away takes place the oldest cemetery of Salzburg that quite often became the decoration for various films. You'll have an opportunity to look at the hewed out catacombs, opened for visitors.

Getreidegasse – Pferdeschwemme. If to go by City Bridge to the other bank of the river, you'll get to Getreidegasse. This very attractive and narrow street with lots of shops is famous for the house, where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born. Go in the direction of the Mönchsberg and near the tunnel of the same name you'll see the amazing fountain. Long ago Pferdeschwemme was the place for washing 120 horses of Wolf Dietrich, who ordered to build there his new horse barns (nowadays they call it Festspiellhaus).
