We were in Salzburg on Christmas Eve. The lights everywhere and on Getreidegasse were pretty awesome. There were several people just hanging out. We walked down and looked at all the shop windows.

Even the McDonald's sign is quaint! The shops are significantly tourist based with Mozart Kugel everywhere- and unfortunately not the freshest ones were had by me. This street is the highlight of Salzburg for us though , and what makes it stand out as a destination.

Just loved this street with its beautiful shops and intricate wrought iron shop signs overhead. Narrow, cobbled street - very busy at midday. Interesting mix of shops. The house where Mozart was born is in this street. Musicians were performing in front of the shops and the whole area was a photographer's paradise! Stunning views looking along the street to...

Busy and narrow cobbled streets with shops on both sides make for a very charming experience. Short visit recommended. You can cover this with your visit to the Dom.

There were so many quaint shops and such a variety. Restaurants a plenty. The narrow streets of old Europe abound. This area is safe, clean, and charming.

A must see! Very fun busy streets with bustling shops! Was there in the spring and again in December with falling snow. Only added to the great atmosphere!

Try to stay somewhere overnight and visit before 1000 or after 1630. It's beautiful in the evening when the tourists have gone home.

Pedestrian street complete with iron shop signs hanging above the entrances. They are each unique. The shops house various items from food to clothing and gifts. Each shop owner we encountered were friendly and polite. Great cafes all throughout this area too. Make sure you go down some of the little alleys for addiitonal shops and cafes.
