Lovely for a wander

May 2022

It was very pleasant to stroll along the banks of the Salzach River, either during the day or at night, when accessing the old city. Crossing the bridges, one can get pretty views of the surrounding area. It appeared to be very popular for locals to enjoy an evening picnic on the grassy banks.

Scenic river that separates the old and new city

Oct 2022

Sazach River is a scenic river that separates the old and new city with bridges connecting the two.

We crossed the Makartsteg Bridge which is near Mirabell Gardens in the new city to cross over to the old city (Alstadt) and the bridge covered in love locks where couples show their eternal love for each other.

The Alstadt is historical with so many beautiful old buildings.

Its a river that splits through the city.

Apr 2023 • Couples

The Salzach river runs through the middle of the city and acts as a split through the town. As river it does what rivers do, flows with water. Its not the most visually spectacular river and is not a must see other that looking at it when you drive or walk over it.
There are some nice seating areas overlooking the river where you could sit and have lunch or just pass some time sitting there. Again, not a must do or see.

Very pretty.

Dec 2022 • Couples

Salzburg itself is very pretty. And despite resisting the overwhelming urge to start singing Sound of Music songs, we do feel like we are in the atypical ‘alpine type’ township.
The Salzach river runs through the centre of the township, with the Alps as an amazing background. The ‘old city’ comprises original medieval and baroque buildings (on the left bank), looking across to the 19th century ‘new city’ (right bank).

Lovely

Mar 2024 • Solo

The river lends unparalleled beauty to the city. The walkways along the river on both sides give you stunning views. The bridges over the river offer fantastic spots for views / selfies / clicks.

Worth a quick look

Oct 2021 • Couples

Not the most scenic or impressive, the river doesn't warrant much time for walking along, and difficult to capture any nice photographs... But who cares, Salzburg has plenty of other beauty.

Beautiful River

Jul 2024 • Couples

The Salzach River separates the Old Town of Salzburg and the newer district. There are several bridges that cross it and it really adds something to the Salzburg experience.

Walk the bridges

Apr 2020

Great views of the old city from the bridges. There was also a small market lining the banks of the river.

Nice river

Jun 2022 • Business

This river goes right through the town. With the bridges and churches it looks great. It was hot the day that I was there and the breeze along the river was very nice.
