The church is beautiful and a must see, but the cemetery behind it is amazing and the grotto was fun (small). More

not to miss, also very cool/creepy crypts downstairs. One of my favorite churches. Can be done in short amount of time and near other Salzburg sites too. More

Sadly we weren't there for a Mozart mass, but they do happen. Don't miss the crypts! Buy the Salzburg photo book to ensure you get good pictures of the interior. More

I love going into all old churches and cathedrals in Europe, and this one is very nice. You can go down stairs to the crypts for an interesting view of the past More

Similar to other European cathedrals, the cathedral is very beautiful. Being a Catholic, I decided to attend the 10 a.m. Sunday mass because I had read that there would be a choir and organ.

Another gorgeous Central European cathedral. Entry is free, although there will be someone at the door collecting donations. Give something. It's worth the upkeep. And they'll ask you your language and give you some material on the Dom. Salzburg is a beautiful city, and this is one of its centerpieces. We were fortunate enough to stumble on a local festival/celebration... More
